Dppler Shift If transmitter r receiver is mbile, the frequency f received signal changes Mving twards each ther: higher frequency Mving away frm each ther: lwer frequency 8
Dppler Shift (cnt.) Frequency difference = speed (m/sec) / wavelength (m) Example: 2.4 GHz: wavelength = speed f light / frequency = 3*10^8/2.4*10^9 = 0.125 m 120 km/h (75 m/h) = 120*10^3/3600 = 33.3 m/s Frequency difference = 33.3/0.125 = 267 Hz 9
