Doppler The Doppler effect is the frequency shift which occurs when a signal is transmitted from a moving platform towards a receiver, conversely, the transmitter could be stationary and the receiver could be in motion. In the most complex case, both transmitter and receiver could be moving with respect to each other. Whatever the case, there is a resultant change in frequency which can be detected and used to determine the speed and direction of motion. The following set-up is one method to enable the Doppler component to be extracted from a moving target echo. Use the Transient Recorder with the output from the Detector to record the Doppler shift.

Doppler Movie Observe the Phase change of the Doppler signal when the target changes direction, and the change in Signal Levelas the target opens and closes
