The wavefront received by a receiver from a moving source, or vice versa, is shown in the literature as circles of decreasing diameter whose centers are displaced along the direction of motion. I have spent some time looking for the proper name, but the nearest one I came across is "Doppler circles," as used by artists. The relevant Wikipedia article shows nice animations of these circles, but no name is mentioned for this group of circles. What is the correct geometrical name for this group of circles?
Relevant answer
Answer
@dokov, may I point out a few differences between the group of circles whose name I am trying to find and the objects in the references you kindly suggested? (1) The group of circles I mentioned has their centers fixed while expanding. (2) The spacing between the circumferences in any given angular direction is constant. (3) The first circle will always enclose all the other circles; the second one will always enclose all the circles except the first one, and the third will enclose all except the first and second, and it continues.

The Relativistic Doppler effect has been explained and derived from the invariance of the wave equation in the case of light (or from Lorentz Transformations). In relativity, it was described as a phenomenon involving two different inertial frames, a consequence of Lorentz invariance.
Other simple methods have been used to give account to the Doppler effect for waves in acoustics.
Acoustic waves in material media, on the other hand, are neither Galilean or Lorentz Invariant.
It was considered so far that the wave equation in EM interaction is the same for the moving source and moving observers.
The Longitudinal Doppler effect in Nature is a detection of a frequency shift of oscillations originated by a transfer of a net energy and momentum due to non stationary positions of Emitters and observers.
It is properly obtained by adopting the conservation of energy and momentum of waves and matter interacting.
The Doppler Radar unveils a potential issue if one considers inertial both RADAR and a mirror, unless placing some external pressure, to a mirror of finite mass, which exactly counterbalances, the radiation pressure.
It is very interesting also that, according to a very recent work by Hrvoje Dodig,
the wave equation for stationary observers and sources cannot have the same form as the one for moving sources or observers for example.
Such feature should be related also to the fact that ENERGY AND MOMENTUM variations are involved and they play a role which may not preserve the wave equation form

It is not a question infact, it is a discussion on being or not being that the true nature of DE is energy momentum exchange between matter and radiation.

I am designing pseudo-Doppler direction finder and trying to observe Doppler shift, but I am not able to get it. My system consists of 4 antennas shifted by RF switch. Test signal is 433MHz CW.
4 receiving magnetic base monopole antennas are positioned on the disc with 25cm diameter. Switching frequency is 251kHz.
The issue that I unable to see doppler shift at all. As spectrogram shows 433MHz frequency spike isn't showing any shift and doesn't appear to move at all. As I zoom in even with way much smaller RBW no difference. I can see only switching frequency harmonics around my carrier.
As I understand I should see carrier moving around centre frequency as I switching the antennas.

Answer
I did not find the link you mentioned to be very helpful, so I went in search of original source materials. I first tried Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radio_direction_finding . Their explanation of how pseudo-Doppler DF worked was that the technique used phase differences. They also referenced a 1987 book [1], which also mentioned on p. 122 that the technique, pseudo-Doppler DF, was also called "sequential phase" DF. Chapter 9 of this book shows one how to actually build such a DF, and it mentions a number of pitfalls when trying to get such a circuit to work: 1) multipath (p. 136), and 2) grounding of the non-active antennas (the non-active antennas must float, electrically, if they are grounded they tend to reradiate the incoming signal, see p. 130).
[1] also referenced a 1981 article by David C. Cunningham on desining and building a pseudo-Doppler DF, see [2]. The article also mentioned that Cunningham had patented his design. I looked up his US patent (granted on Novmeber 5, 1985), US Patent No. 4,551,727, on the following URL: https://ppubs.uspto.gov/pubwebapp/static/pages/ppubsbasic.html To obtain a PDF of a US patent, simply enter the patent number, without its commas, in the "Quick lookup" field at the top of the page. Cunningham's patent cites the June 28, 1941 US patent, US Patent No. 2,414,798, by Horace T. Budenbom showing the rotating antenna DF - the word 'Doppler' was not used. The antenna at the edge of the rotating disk phase modulates the incoming signal. Cunningham's patent also cites the 1947 article discussing the square array of electronically commutated aerials [3], notice the title of this article.

What is the accuracy of vertical air flow speed in thermals (sailplane pilots use them to climb) measured using a doppler lidar. There are applications like SeeYou Navigator which provide information about thermals. I am curious about the kind of measurement methods in use to feed data to this kind of application (my guess is the doppler lidar) and what is the accuracy.
Kind regards
Cuma
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi ,
In terms of accuracy, the specific accuracy of doppler lidar measurements can vary depending on several factors, such as the quality and capabilities of the lidar system itself, atmospheric conditions, and the distance between the lidar instrument and the target. It is challenging to provide a specific accuracy value without detailed information about the specific lidar system and its calibration.
Modern doppler lidar systems can generally provide accurate measurements of air flow velocities, including the vertical component in thermals. The accuracy can be within a few centimeters per second for low-velocity flows and up to several meters per second for higher-velocity flows.
It's important to note that the accuracy of the measurements can also be influenced by factors such as turbulence, the presence of aerosols or particles in the air, and the stability of the atmospheric conditions.
These factors can introduce some uncertainties in the measurements.
In the context of applications like SeeYou Navigator, which provide information about thermals for sailplane pilots, the accuracy of the doppler lidar measurements can be further enhanced by using additional data sources and advanced algorithms to improve the estimation of thermals' characteristics.
Overall, it is always advisable to consider the specific capabilities and limitations of the lidar system being used and consult the documentation or specifications provided by the manufacturer for accurate information on its accuracy in measuring vertical air flow speeds.

Let's have an FMCW radar sensor. I arrange the raw data in a matrix format with MXN dimensions, where M represents the number of time samples per chirp and N represents the total number of chirps. Now, after taking the FFT across each column, what do we get? Is it a range-time plot or a range doppler? I am confused after seeing many representations of the radar data plot. For example, range-time, range-doppler, time-doppler, and velocity-time plots. What are they, and how can I obtain each of them?
Relevant answer
Answer
Hello Ritesh,
Returns from an FMCW radar are shifted in frequency due to two effects: (i) the range delay and (ii) Doppler shift from moving targets. For typical parameters, the range delay frequency is much greater than the Doppler shift (often by a few orders of magnitude). Therefore, the phase of returning samples changes rapidly due to the range delay but the phase due to the Doppler shift changes over a much longer timescale. This allows us to make a useful approximation when the duration of the chirp is short (as is often the case for automotive radars that repeat the chirp many times within a beam dwell time).
Let us consider, as you say, M samples per chirp and N chirps, giving a total of M * N samples. We can designate the samples as xm,n where the index m refers to the sample number (m=0,1,2...(M-1)) and n refers to the chirp number (n=0,1,2,...(N-1)).
The M samples taken over an individual chirp (say, for example, the nth chirp, i.e. samples xm=0,1,2,...(M-1),n) exhibit a phase gradient due mainly to the range delay. If we assume the phase variation due to the Doppler to be negligibly small over the duration of the chirp then we can say that any phase variation in the M samples taken during each chirp is due to the range delay. An FFT of these M samples yields a frequency, fR, that is indicative of range, where:
Range = c*fR /(2K), where K = B/T and is the gradient of the chirp [Hz per second], B is the total chirp bandwidth and T is the duration of the chirp.
Hence the FFT of the M samples is a frequency plot that scales to a RANGE plot.
If we now consider any one of these samples (say, for example, the mth sample) across all N chirps (xm,n=0,1,2,...(N-1)), they will have a reasonably consistent phase due to the range delay because the samples are all drawn from the same position within the chirp, but they will now exhibit a slower rate of change of phase due to their Doppler shift. The slower rate of change of phase is evident over the longer timescale of N chirps. The Doppler induced phase gradient is due to a small variation in range (in the order of the wavelength) over the timescale of the N chirps. An FFT of consistent samples across the N chirps will therefore yield the Doppler shift frequency, fd, from which we can deduce the radial velocity, Vr, of the target as:
Vr = lambda*fd / 2 where lambda is the wavelength.
Hence the FFT of the N samples is a Doppler frequency plot that scales to a (RADIAL) VELOCITY plot.
The 2-dimensional FFT of your array is therefore a RANGE-VELOCITY plot (after suitable scaling).
Note that the approximation that the Doppler induced phase variation during a single chirp is negligibly small does break down in some radar applications, i.e. those using a long chirp duration and/or where high target velocities can be encountered. In that case we can resolve the range delay frequency and the Doppler frequency over two chirps; an up ramp and a down ramp, giving a triangular frequency modulation.
I hope this helps.

Linear FMCW radar is a kind of high-range-resolution radar, and motion compensation is a key problem to realize high range resolution. A multiple repetition frequency waveform is adopted and a Doppler frequency cluster (DFC) algorithm is proposed, which is capable of recovering true velocity from the coupled velocity estimation directly. Aiming at solving resolution of multiple targets, a match algorithm based on mean square error is also proposed. The combination of the above two methods realizes distance and velocity decoupling for multiple moving targets. The result of simulation verified the effectiveness of the methods, the velocity estimate performance of DFC algorithm improve obviously contrast to Chinese remainder theorem.

I think it is because a mass particle is a looped photon, as described here
The effect alone is here which delivers factor 2.
When relativisticaly moved a "half of looped photon" is Doppler shifted blue and other antiparallel one is shifted red, building exactly a known relativistic sum with Lorentz transformation.
By a relatively move only a blue half photon is taking part in an interaction of kinetic energy.
This is also true for spin, which is 1/2 for mass particles and 1 for photons, when we measure inteactions showing us the spin. So the half photon is hided in such interactions.
In a momentum interaction both blue and red half photons in the photonloop are taking part, therefore with whole rest mass. Both loops are for a moment running united in a common loop, but then they devide because tigether it is an unstable particle build.
That model shows, that properties of particles are not a priory as is, but depend on that certain interaction. Interactions are given by nature and we just descovered them as they are. We cannot push the red site on looped photon to interact in spin and kinetic interactions, andwe cannot push red site nottotake part in momentum interactions.
The looped photon model is delivering a vividly explain. The red half photon is running away with speed of light and therefore cannnot be reached by the interaction particle partner. The blue half photon runs against the blue one of the interaction partner, so they can interact.

In classical terms i think the explanation for this is hidden in work energy theorem,which states that change of K.E. is work done then if we can say that work done is stored in form of K.E
Now if we calculate work done which is equal to force ×distance
And F=Ma,
And a=dv/dt
Distance=vdt
So work done = mdv/dt.vdt = 1/2mv^2( if intial velocity u=0)
But main point to be note down here is we can just take a=v/t and d=vt ,which end's up with E=mv^2,but here velocity is not constant throught the distance (s) so we have to take calculus approach
If someone is not comfortable with calculus approach so he can think in terms of average velocity which is equal to u+v/2 then their arises the factor of 1/2 .

Question

As part of the preparations for their classic 1959-1960s series of Earthbound gravity-shift experiments, the Harvard group (Pound/Snider/Rebka) had to first build and test a precisely matched “recoil-less” emitter and absorber with a very narrow acceptance band, using the Mossbauer effect.
When they did this, they accidentally discovered a previously-unsuggested and unpredicted thermal redshift effect in the Mossbauer hardware, which they named the “SOD” effect (for “second order Doppler”) and which they had to overcome before proceeding with the main experiment.
The effect was not expected or predicted because special relativity's Doppler effects cancel exactly over a round trip, and because “extended SR” also arguably proves the absence of any additional acceleration effects, if "core SR" is correct.
There is certainly a predicted thermal redshift effect with the older Newtonian Doppler equations, but under SR the effect is not supposed to exist, and one could, in fact, use the existence or absence of thermal redshifts in recoilless materials as a fundamental test of special relativity.
SO -- did Pound and Snider accidentally provide an experimental disproof of SR?
Relevant answer
Answer
Preston Guynn : " If Pound-Rebka showed a relationship between their gravitational time dilation result and the second order Doppler effect ... "
They didn't. They were attempting to measure the gravity-shift across a few floors of a university building. They used a "recoilless" Mossbauer emitter and absorber, in order to get a very narrow spike in the frequency response, necessary to measure very small shifts.
What they found was that the Mossbauer hardware didn't behave as predicted, and instead showed a temperature-dependent redshift, which they then had to try to minimise by using cryogenic cooling.

I am researching a method to speed up the GPS acquisition in cold start. Rather than an exhaustive search on all satellites, I observed that the satellite distribution can give some information to reduce the number of searches.
For example, if I can find the first satellite with Doppler value. I think there exists some way to calculate the probability of detection of other satellites.
Could you recommend some references to start looking at?
Thank you.
Relevant answer
Answer
As soon as the receiver identifies the satellites using Doppler values, then that will no longer be the cold start but rather the warm start. At this stage, the receiver uses the recent almanac in memory to map the satellites and their Doppler offsets. Thus, what is necessary is only to check the anticipated pseudorandom noise (PRN) codes at the expected Doppler offsets. Henceforth, searching the sky becomes worthless.
How can we determine the satellite during cold start?
++++++++++++++++++++
Other than using the Doppler values, the positions of the other satellites may be detected using the orbital data from the almanac. In any given constellation, each satellite transmits orbital parameters for all satellites alongside auxiliary health and status information. Since the ephemeris data is transmitted only for each individual satellite, then you may simply compute the satellite positions using the orbital equations at any given point in time.
++++++++++++++++++++
Apart from that, you may get the ephemeris and clock information from the cellphone link rather than through the satellite link, a concept which may be termed as assisted satellite positioning. The strength of this approach is that the amount of time required to get all the critical information shortened.
++++++++++++++++++++
While the orbit design has something to do with the overall satellite configuration, the receiver architecture has a vital role in the task of identifying the satellites in order to calculate its own 3D position and clock offset, on the other hand. Therefore, the overall cold start searching time may improve with multi-corellator and high-sensitivity Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers.

I'm looking for a method to find the Doppler center of complex SAR image. Can anyone suggest the easiest way to estimate the Sentinel image Doppler center ?
Relevant answer
Answer
The Doppler center (line) depends on the S/C position, velocity in the Rotating Earth-fixed (ECEF) Coordinate system. So formally you would need orbital information. Luckily the orbital tube Sentinel-1 is controlled accurately, and provides a quite stable S/C position and velocity as function of Sentinel-1 Ascending Node (ECEF) crossing (time). This crossing time oscillate with magnitude of 0.3 sec and precesses some +7 seconds per year. So a previous estimate of the Doppler center for a particular UTC time (N times 10 days apart) might help to obtain a guestimate for the next Doppler line at UTC (0) + N x 10.0 days + N x 10/365.25 x 7 sec

According to the attached paper, dated 1977, in the American Journal of Physics, by Professor P.D. Gupta of Purdue University, a Lorentz transformation analysis of the longitudinal Doppler shift in light, over a two-way path, is equivalent to two separate classical analyses.
Are we sure that we can definitely use the Lorentz transformation analysis over a one-way path?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dr. Jackson, Yes, Gupta's maths is correct, and that's all that matters at the moment. The implication is that the Lorentz transformation Doppler analysis over two paths is equivalent to two separate classical analyses.
If such an analysis only operates over a return path, then we won't have any of the conundrums associated with what the speed of light is measured relative to.
Your remedial theory about the light slowing down after the collision was designed to address a conundrum which may not exist.
So the title question is "do we have any experimental evidence confirming the LT Doppler shift analysis over a one-way path?"
That would mean experiments where the Doppler effect in light is measured first with the receiver moving relative to the source and then with the source moving relative to the receiver to see if the result is different. Have any experiments like this ever been performed to any degree of accuracy? It would have to involve very high terrestrial speeds in order to reveal any significant effect.
The fact that Gupta has shown the LT Doppler analysis over a two-way path to be equivalent to two separate classical analyses, is quite persuasive that maybe it only holds over a two-way path and that we have both been until now trying to solve a conundrum that does not exist.

There is now a “raging” debate in the medical field about the lighter envelope portion of the spectrum (red dotted line) that basically duplicates the darker envelope (modal velocity traced in light green) below the baseline. Some are arguing that this higher velocity (red envelope) is artifactual based on the FFT processing and some are arguing that this is the result of a hemodynamic situation which results in an increased velocity.
I want to discuss one more general point about Doppler FFT processing before I can really described the situation and pose the question. The Doppler signal is separated into an I and Q channel so as to detect flow direction (represented as flow signals above or below the baseline). I am well aware of the “mirroring” that can occur in the Doppler spectrum when some of the signal “crosstalks” between the I and Q channel. If there is not perfect separation between the two channels, we see the result as replication of the real signal “mirrored” across the baseline.
I will briefly describe the situation. This picture represents the imaging of a prosthetic mitral valve (top image with color) and a continuous wave Doppler, spectrum below. Continuous wave implies that the flow velocity is detected along the entire Doppler line (dotted white line down the center of reference image above spectrum). In this case, the valve has been replaced with a mechanical prosthetic valve with metal discs. A well understood artifact that occurs sometimes in ultrasound (and frequently with specular reflectors like metal which acts like a mirror to sound waves) is a reverberation artifact. In essence, the sound, instead of making a single path down and back from each part of the image, makes two or more paths (reverberates) between the strong reflectors. The result is that the specular reflectors (and of course every structure between the specular reflectors, is duplicated a second time (and possibly more times) below the location of the actual structure within the ultrasound image. The fact that this reverberation artifact is happening in this image is confirmed with other views I am not including.
So some people are theorizing that just as the image is being replicated, the Doppler shift is being replicated (this I completely believe since the sound beams used to detect Doppler shifts behave in the same manner as the sound beams used to create the 2D image). However, the velocity presented is related to the Doppler frequency shift, not if the shift is detected twice, so detecting the same Doppler shift again does not explain the increase in velocity shown. In other words, detecting the same frequency twice should result in energy in the same frequency bins, not higher order bins corresponding to higher frequencies( velocities). The question is whether it is possible that since the “same” shift is being replicated and detected twice instead of once can result in an explainable result in the FFT the produces signal in higher order FFT bins (the signal in the fainter envelope traced in red). In other words, is there a mathematical explanation (like there is for the “mirroring” artifact for this “double envelope” artifact?
For completeness: others are theorizing that this is not related to the FFT processing at all, but is the result of the vena contracta and complex flow acceleration that results from impingement of this flow on the septal wall. I will not go into more detail on this theory as this relates to fluid dynamics and I know this is a forum for answering questions about Fourier Transforms.
Relevant answer
Answer
Considering your information about the mirror/reverberation effects, you may have to understand where the doppler effect in this environment comes from:
A (sonic) wave propagating WITH some flow is traveling faster (at the added velocity of sound and flow), a wave propagating AGAINST some flow slower. While it might be hard to understand, the Doppler shift of signal traveling back and forth the very same path of flow is non-zero (due to differing traveling times).
Consider a signal that's reflected - traveling the (about) same path twice: it's Doppler shift will be about twice as large (compared to a single travel), as it is exposed to the flow twice.
My best guess is that your mysterious signals stem from exactly this effect - about doubling the Doppler shift for a signal reflected twice as compared to the "standard" signal.

Let us suppose that special relativity does not exist.
In 1887, Woldemar Voigt wrote "On Doppler's Principle".
Lorentz wrote in his book in 1909:
"The idea of the transformations used above might therefore have been borrowed from Voigt and the proof that it does not alter the form of the equations for the free ether is contained in his paper.”
Minkowski in 1908:
"I want to add that the transformations, which play the main role in the relativity principle, were first mathematically discussed by Voigt in the year 1887.”
Questions about "On Doppler's Principle" (I added my responses but you can please give yours):
1. Why he wrote this paper? He wanted to explain the null result of Michelson Morley experiment.
2. What was his main idea? He considered that the wave equation should have the same form independently of the motion of the observer. This implicitly imposed that the speed of light c is constant for any observer.
3. Did he consider only electromagnetic wave in his paper? No, he supposed that his wave equation should work for any elastic wave, including acoustic wave.
4. Why the title is about Doppler? The title is very important if one wants to give a meaning (outside special relativity) to his work.
5. What did he concluded from his work? He concluded that his new definition of Doppler effect predicts Michelson Morley experiment.
6. We all know that the last version of Lorentz Transformation is similar to Voigt's transformation except that the variables x', y', z', t' have an additional gamma factor. Did Lorentz/Poincare multplied Voigt's transformation by the gamma factor for mathematical consideration (to form a group) and for reciprocity? Yes, according to the literature. A physical reason for this multiplication is missing.
Voigt's c=constant is considered to be the source of the errors of LT and special relativity by Engelhardt:
Wesley interpreted in 1986 Voigt's work as a new formula for Doppler effect:
Klinaku proposed a new formula for the Doppler effect for any angle between the direction of the ligth and the direction of motion of the observer. His formula includes a transverse Doppler effect. He shows here that his work gives a meaning to Voigt's work:
Please give here your opinion/scientific point of view about Voigt's paper "On Doppler's Principle" (1887) and more generally about Voigt's work on Doppler and Michelson-Morley experiment.
You can also talk here about about Searle, Heaviside, Wien and Larmor.
Thank you.
Relevant answer
Answer
In Wesley`s 1986 paper:
"Voigt thereby obtained the relations that are today inappropriately called the Lorentz transformation. Voigt represented his Doppler effect mathematically in terms of space and time variables, whereas the Doppler effect can involve the propagation constant and frequency only. Voigt's unfortunate mathematical representation of his Doppler effect in terms of space and time apparently led Lorentz and others to naively conclude that space and time themselves might actually change in a moving system"

Some radars use several pulse-widths. I encountered a radar uses 2 kind of pulse-widths in turn.
I think 2 pulse-widths are used to solve ambiguity in Doppler and range.
What else are the reasons?
Do you know any more reason?
Relevant answer
Answer
Solving range and velocity ambiguities is often accomplished by comparing target data acquired over two, or more PRFs (not pulse widths). A burst of pulses at a fixed PRF may be transmitted and processed within one coherent processing interval (CPI), and then the radar shifts to another CPI on a new PRF; the process may use up between 5 to 9 PRFs in a medium PRF mode (8 PRFs is commonplace), or fewer in low and high PRF pulse Doppler modes. Changing the pulse width in sympathy with the change in PRF enables the radar to operate on the same duty ratio and this has several advantages for the radar. Firstly, a constant duty ratio maintains a constant average power and so the same energy per CPI (assuming equal number of pulses per CPI) and this, in turn, yields a constant detection performance over the various CPIs. Secondly, it may be advantageous to run a high power transmitter at a constant load and so maintain the same average power (if the pulse width didn't change with PRF, the load would vary between CPIs). This is more of a practical engineering point in designing transmitter power supplies. This is perhaps most likely to be the reason why a radar uses several pulse widths but there are other reasons. Changing pulse width to maintain a constant duty ratio brings about a few complications so not all radars will do this.
One of the other reasons for changing the pulse width may be that a shorter pulse is used at shorter ranges (and a longer pulse is used at longer ranges). The shorter pulse has less energy and so a reduced detection performance but this is acceptable at short ranges. Also, a narrower pulse width has a shorter blind range (and close-in eclipsing losses) and this may be important in order to maintain target visibility and minimise the effects of partial eclipsing at very short ranges.
There could be other reasons for using differing pulse widths but the two described above are perhaps the most likely. I could say more if you could tell me more about the radar and its waveforms.
Feel free to contact me if I can help further.

PIV gives average results based on the interrogation window. PDPA gives the instantaneous velocity at a particular point. One can argue about the definition of the point mentioned here. I would say the interrogation window used for PDPA is very small compared to PIV. Moreover, PIV predicts the velocity based on successive frames which sometimes may lead to false values due to several reasons (Choice of the plane, Laser pulse width, the accuracy of cross-correlation program). IF I have to choose one, I would go for PDPA, it is far more reliable and accurate than other methods, provided the lasers are properly aligned and the experiments are performed correctly.

2. I was made aware of De Broglie's work recently.

4. The orthogonal of three fields, E, M and Space Field (vs Velocity) was with me since Middle School.
5. The 9 Dimensions I have had since 2008. I feel there is a medium that gives momentum to Photon in Space Field. All forces are gradients of the "their substance of fields" in Space. We know Space has e and u. I feel the ether is Space Field, and vibrating in the Space FIeld. It is also a function of temperature, and the gradient of Temp gives rise to the momentum to the photon. The hv in your equation represents the vibration of this, which is related to vibration of B and M and Poynting Vector. I have since 2008, though the model of Vacuum of Space to be Gyropscopic in 9 DImensions. In static they are Gyropscopic but in dynamics, the third field vibrates 2 times faster,
6. The 1/2 hv, 1/2 E and 1/2 M also back my line of thought and I called it Binary Partition of Energy and recently talked about in a draft.
7. The modelling of LC was also there with me in mind seeing parallels with transverse oscillation of B and M fields but it is just a mathematical modelling. And for EMF waves, the helix projected gives rise to that impression. But it is just E and M are chasing each other in dance because of orthogonal relationships. If one is Sin, the other is Cos in the same dimensions, and in other dimensions, one is Cos and the other is Sun. But it does not paint a physical picture of photon.
8. This paper from Richard Gauthier is a good paper to read. Perhaps we all can collaborate on my model of Electron and Positron I had since 2008.

That means the number of observed photons per second (not just each photon's frequency).
Since the axial shift has a cos(B) factor (B=observation angle), there will be a different frequency, intensity, and information transmission rate in each direction. Although the average of cos(B) for all B is zero. The variance is not, Therefore the observed variance of frequncy, wave length, number photons per second, intensity and information transmission rate are changed.

Even if the photons travel at same speed the observed time and space was changes by the velocity.

  • asked a question related to Doppler
Question

Einstein's General Theory is internally inconsistent because it adopts SR's flat-spacetime Doppler equations.
These are incompatible with gravitomagnetism. The field of a moving gravitational source appears asymmetrical along its motion axis - it pulls more strongly when it recedes than when it approaches. This alters the momentum and energy of light, generating a gravitomagnetic shift that is red when the body recedes and blue for approach.
  • The gravitomagneitc shift combined with the SR motion shift would give a non-SR result.
  • The gravitomagnetic shift considered as a motion shift would also give a non-SR result (it involves a velocity-dependent deviation from Minkowski spacetime, and therefore also from SR)
Either way, relative motion between strong-gravity bodies must generate a different Doppler relationship to SR's.
But since all bodies in the universe are compelled to obey the same Doppler equations, all bodies must then obey non-SR relationships –we are not allowed to have different Doppler relationships for strong-gravity and weak-gravity objects.
Also, since medium-strong and an extremally-strong gravity-sources must all show the same Doppler relationships, the equations of motion that we obtain for a black hole (most extremal gravitational body) must also apply to every other sort of body, down to individual hydrogen atoms.
So the theory of relativistic gravitation (and/or a valid general theory of relativity) cannot reduce exactly to SR physics, and all relativistic physics needs to be compatible with the "black hole" solution (maximal relativistic deviation from SR). Are you finding that your project is producing this same result from other arguments?
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi Preston
Einstein's General Theory or Relativity is not even incorrect. It's geometrically invalid.
The general principle of relativity applied to rotation requires that a rotating star drags light. This dragging effect has a velocity component, in that the receding side of a star drags light away from us, and the approaching side drags it towards us.
We can then extend the argument to show that this velocity-dependent dragging effect must also apply when there is no rotation and only simple relative velocity. The back-end of a black hole receding at v has to drag light with it at exactly v, otherwise the light emitted at r=2m that was described as being frozen into the horizon for a stationary observer would either be infalling or exposed for other observers who saw the hole moving. If it's an event horizon, it has to drag 100% to avoid inconsistency, and if its not an event horizon but an apparent horizon, it then also has to drag 100% for other reasons.
So moving strong-gravity bodies have to drag light.
When they drag light, the momentum and energy of that light changes, which means that the relationship between relative velocity and light-energy cannot be that of SR. And if strong-gravity bodies have a Doppler relationship that isn't SR, then all bodies have to share that same non-SR relationship. if we look at a tiny patch of sky containing a distant galaxy, and change our velocity along the viewing path, then everything in that galaxy has to be seen to shift frequency by precisely the the same amount. The same Doppler relationship has to apply to a neutron star as to an isolated atom of interstellar gas. If the neutron star drags light, then so must the atom (and it does, Fizeau effect).
And what's more, the same departure from the SR relationships that we get due to the neutron star's motion must be precisely as the one we get for the atom's motion since we need to be able to explain the same divergence due to dragging on either the star or the atom (principle of relativity), the atom, and the neutorn star and a black hole must all drag light by exactly the same amount at a sufficiently close proximity.
So all matter must be treated as if it is either horizon-bounded, or made from smaller particles that are horizon-bounded. Symmetricality then means that we aren't allowed "mathematical" observers, the only observers that are legal under a full theory of relativity are those made from other light-dragging atoms.
There's then no such thing as flat-spacetime physics - the curved spacetime relativity of a proper general theory of relativity doesn't reduce to SR or to anything else – it is self-contained, and applies right down to the level of particle physics.
The whole idea that a general theory has to reduce to a flat-spacetime physics is something that Einstein just made up (because he wanted his new theory to include his older theory rather than invalidate it), and nobody really questioned whether what he was saying was really true. It satisfied an emotional need of Einstein, but wasn't obviously based on any proper scientific analysis.
People took Einstein's statement at face value, assumed that it was based on research, and didn't do their own investigations.
If you're considering things like precession, then you're overcomplicating: Einstein's GR doesn't even work relativistically for the case of an isolated strong-gravity body far from other masses, coasting in a straight line at constant velocity.
It's a turkey.

Dear Mohammed,
The distance traveled by an electromagnetic wave L = c t where c is the velocity of light and t is the propagation time. If these is an error in the distance then there will be an equivalent error in time dt such that dL=c dt. Accordingly, this will be equivalent to statistical variations of the symbol arrival time. From this simple thinking, one can treat statistical distance errors as statistical delay time in the symbol time. Most probable it will cause statistical delay errors that may cause inter symbol interference.
Frequency offset requires a change in the rate of change of the propagation distance with time.

I know that there are some expressions for Stark broadening in plasmas, but they usually require checking tables of parameters depending on temperature and density. I was wondering whether there was a simple check using temperature, density and atomic number, to see whether at a given set of conditions, Doppler broadening dominates over Stark broadening or vice versa.
Thanks to everyone
Relevant answer
Answer
A spectral line in a plasma fluid medium is broadened by several mechanisms briefly discussed as follows”:
Natural line broadening: A spectral line width caused by the finite lifetime of ionic excited states in plasmas.
Doppler broadening: It is developed due to the thermal velocity distribution of the emitting ionic species relative to the absorbing species in rapidly expanding plasmas.
Electron impact broadening: It is caused by the electron collisional effects and their coupling mechanisms.
Quasi-static Stark broadening: I is produced by the relatively slowly changing local ionic electrostatic fields (created by nearby ionic species), which split and shift the energy levels of the radiating ions in plasmas.
All these spectral line-broadening effects add up to yield the total line width as a combination of all of them. Usually, only one of these effects unspecifically dominates, depending on the local plasma temperature and density, while the others are regarded as smaller corrections over the dominating one. Thus, there is no simplistic generalization rule for the dominance of the above.

Answer
Unfortunately, I suppose that you published your question too late. Your patient in the sepsis and very probable - septic shock. The extensive surgical debridement along with intensive care and AB treatment was required as emergency intervention 5 days ago. It may be necrotizing or non-necrotizing infection, cellulitis or fasciitis - anyway surgical intervention is indicated. Amputation is an option if patient not improve after debridement (s).

I am trying to acquire and track GPS signal. I have already acquired it using parallel code frequency search algorithm, and for tracking I am following Kai borre book's (A software defined receiver for GPS and Galileo) MATLAB code for software defined receiver.
I have not performed carrier pull in after acquisition because for acquisition itself I have used very small step size of freqBins i.e, 5 Hz instead of 500Hz. Do I still need to perform Carrier-pullin?
How important it is to be performed after acquisition of a satellite and getting rough estimate of doppler freq?
I am not able to demodulate the navigation data using tracking and I suspect this can be the reason.
Please help.
Thanks,
Priyanka

Answer
As you know carrier pull-in is required to get the estimate of the carrier frequency, to start the PLL, in real time GPS, this is done through FLL, but in soft receivers it is done similar to acquisition.
usually it is done using large data (4 ~ 20 ms) to minimize or filter out the noise.
A PLL requires better estimate of frequency than provided by the usual acquisition phase, and that is why pull-in is necessary.

Dear Erina
PICMUS Challenge provided a complete in-vivo carotid dataset in two views: longitudinal and cross-section. it can be found in the following sites:
more information about it can be found in the following paper:
" H. Liebgott, A. Rodriguez-Molares, F. Cervenansky, J. A. Jensen and O. Bernard, "Plane-Wave Imaging Challenge in Medical Ultrasound," 2016 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium (IUS), Tours, 2016, pp. 1-4. "
regarding to Matlab code , I can help you to progress the segmentation method.
I hope it can be useful.

I'm working on Mathematical modelling of carotid artery blood flow, using subject specific Doppler indices to predict potential areas of carotid plaque development.
I believe that nomograms of Doppler indices as a diagnostic tool for clinical assessment of carotid health is of little use. it has a lot of specificities: Population, BMI, gender, age, etc

I have a big dataset of doppler images (colored) but i don't know how to use it to train my deep learning model or i don't know the feature that my model will extract from it. So, i think to convert it to White and black images but i don't know is it right? and if it right i don't know how to convert it!!

Hi, Hamada,
I agree 100% with Dr. Schlindwein.
Different ultrasound (US) informations are conveyed depending on US mode, and they are displayed in different imageries patterns. For instance, B-mode represents bidimensional image reconstruction of a physical structure and it is generally displayed in high contrast (BW/grayscale) images. B-mode image reconstruction is typically based on quantifying the incident and reflected energies of an US beam crossing adjacent media with different densities. On the other hand, velocity can be straightforwardly obtained from US signals by taking into account Doppler effect only, and are displayed in a rainbow scale.
Let me ask you what are you looking for when analyzing ultrasound signals?
Peace and blessings!

Hello,
We currently use Loctite to adhere the fiber optic probe of our laser doppler to the mouse skull when measuring cerebral blood flow. When turning the mouse over for MCAO surgery, the probe doesn't seem to stay in place very well. Which other products do you use that seem to have greater success?
Thank you!

Dopplers & pressure broadening results in broadening of atomic spectral lines.how these effects can be removed.
Relevant answer
Answer
Except at very low frequencies, pressure broadening can be removed by working at very low pressures. Likewise, Doppler can be eliminated two ways. One is by using effusive atomic or molecular beams. The other is by Lamb dip Spectroscopy.

According to the authors of:
The frequency of light emitted by a moving source is shifted by a factor proportional to its velocity. We find that this Doppler shift requires the existence of a paradoxical effect: that a moving atom radiating in otherwise empty space feels a net or average force acting against its direction motion and proportional in magnitude to is speed. Yet there is no preferred rest frame, either in relativity or in Newtonian mechanics, so how can there be a vacuum friction force?
Relevant answer
Answer
If there is no friction force at all, how you explain traveling light and bending. Planets form through friction and the must have came from somewhere

Plasma density multiplied by velocity gives ion flux, but the velocity consideration should be the plasma jet velocity (calculated from doppler shift) or the ion thermal velocity (depends on the plasma temperature). Kindly suggest me...
Relevant answer
Answer
First of all thanks to all.. our plasma is thermal expanding plasma confined by magnetic field with background pressure of 1-2 Pascal. We can calculate both jet velocity and temperature from optical emission spectroscopy (OES). Ion thermal velocity was calculated by putting the temperature from OES and jet velocity from doppler shift (for the present case we have not calculated). For your kind convenience I have attached one small OES report.

Dear,
In preparation for our master thesis we are looking to find some good techniques to measure the blood flow velocity on the pudenda artery or eventually on the femoral artery. In a population of women who have had a caesars section we want to evaluate if we, as osteopaths, can influence the velocity of the artery by releasing the connective tissue in the area of the scar.We will do a measurement before and after the technique in order to find out if there is an positive or negative effect on the velocity of the blood. We did some research and found the doppler techniques being effective by different researchers e.g. https://www.ntvg.nl/system/files/publications/1987105670001a.pdf or .There are different doppler's, e.g. doppler-echo, doppler in different Mhz; 8Mhz, 2Mhz,.. Does anyone have experience with this? What is the difference between the dopplers and do we need a doppler with echo if we want to check the velocity of the blood flow?
May I thank u in advance for your help,

Answer
Dear Yourik,
Sounds like a great research subject. 
If your population is a group of women who have had caesarian section as delivery, you first have to know the landmarks of c-section incision. 
At the moment of pregnancy, it is a very vascular region because of the branches of the uteral arterie supplying the vagina, cervix and uterus itself. The surgeon will try to avoid the vessels for hemorrhage so the vessels stay perfectly intact.
The incision is made through the layers of the abdomen; skin, subcutaneous fat tissue, fascia, abdominal muscles and peritoneum. There is a transverse incision ( not the injure the baby) made through the layers of the uterus.
The following scar tissue, dense fibrous tissue, is based on the incision that has been made. Normally the incision is made in 'the natural crease', 2 fingers above the symphysis pubis so the scar attends to disappear as it heals. 
The increased tension in the area of the fibrous tissue gives a reduction of blood supply. As the internal pudendal arteria is a sensitive arteria, I assume the tension around the Internal Iliacal arteria ( giving the internal pudendal arteria branch) could cause a lower hemodynamic in the internal pudendal artery.
Unfortunately, I do not have any experience with the Doppler Echo device, I hope someone with knowledge and experience can advise you.

Galactic rotation curves ?? Given the importance and longelevity of the galactic rotation curve problem it is probable that most, if not all, prosaic explanations, apart from the existence of dark matter, have been considered and rejected. This educated layman has limited access to ,and knowledge of, the literature and thus the suggestion, given here ,might well have been dead for decades. On this limited knowledge it appears that most, if not all, rotation curves are actually measuring the tangential speeds of interstellar gas rather than the star field itself. Question 1 . Is it possible to measure the small ( 1: 10^5 ) Doppler shifts directly from Fraunhofer lines in stellar spectra Has this been done ? Again on limited knowledge one can imagine that these measurements require the relatively narrow emission lines from relatively cold but ionised gas, far away from stellar cores . Thus the H alpha and 21 cm line data dominate the literature. Ques
