  2. Doppler effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect

    The Doppler effect (also Doppler shift) is the change in the frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the source of the wave. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The Doppler effect is named after the physicist Christian Doppler , who described the phenomenon in 1842.

  3. Relativistic Doppler effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_Doppler_effect

    The relativistic Doppler effect is the change in frequency, wavelength and amplitude [1] of light, caused by the relative motion of the source and the observer (as in the classical Doppler effect, first proposed by Christian Doppler in 1842 [2]), when taking into account effects described by the special theory of relativity.

  4. Doppler radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radar

    The Doppler effect (or Doppler shift), named after Austrian physicist Christian Doppler who proposed it in 1842, is the difference between the observed frequency and the emitted frequency of a wave for an observer moving relative to the source of the waves. It is commonly heard when a vehicle sounding a siren approaches, passes and recedes from ...

  5. Frequency ambiguity resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_ambiguity_resolution

    Radar pulsing causes a phenomenon called aliasing, which occurs when the Doppler frequency created by reflector motion exceeds the pulse repetition frequency (PRF). [1] This concept is related to range ambiguity resolution. Doppler frequency shift is introduced onto reflected signals used by radar.

  6. Ambiguity function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambiguity_function

    In pulsed radar and sonar signal processing, an ambiguity function is a two-dimensional function of propagation delay and Doppler frequency, (,).It represents the distortion of a returned pulse due to the receiver matched filter [1] (commonly, but not exclusively, used in pulse compression radar) of the return from a moving target.

  7. Pulse-Doppler signal processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-Doppler_signal...

    Pulse-Doppler signal processing is a radar and CEUS performance enhancement strategy that allows small high-speed objects to be detected in close proximity to large slow moving objects. Detection improvements on the order of 1,000,000:1 are common.

  8. Coherence time (communications systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_time...

    That is, where () is the maximum Doppler spread or, maximum Doppler frequency or, maximum Doppler shift given by = with being the center frequency of the emitter. Coherence time is actually a statistical measure of the time duration over which the channel impulse response is essentially invariant, and quantifies the similarity of the channel ...

  9. Pulse-Doppler radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-Doppler_radar

    Microwave Doppler frequency shift produced by reflector motion falls into the audible sound range for human beings (20–20 000 Hz), which is used for target classification in addition to the kinds of conventional radar display used for that purpose, like A-scope, B-scope, C-scope, and RHI indicator. The human ear may be able to tell the ...
