Question

Which radar system is primarily used for detecting moving objects by measuring frequency shifts?

A.

Pulse Radar

B.

Doppler Radar

C.

Continuous Wave Radar

D.

Frequency Modulated Radar

Correct option is B

Doppler radar is a specialized radar system that uses the Doppler effect to detect moving objects and measure their velocity by analyzing the frequency shift (or phase shift) of the returned signal. When a target moves towards the radar, the frequency of the reflected signal is higher than the transmitted signal (positive Doppler shift). When a target moves away from the radar, the frequency of the reflected signal is lower (negative Doppler shift). By measuring this frequency difference (Doppler shift), the radar can accurately determine the radial speed and direction of the moving object.\textbf{Doppler radar} \text{ is a specialized radar system that uses the Doppler effect to detect moving objects and measure their velocity by analyzing the frequency shift (or phase shift) of the returned signal.} \\[10pt]\bullet \ \text{When a target moves towards the radar, the frequency of the reflected signal is higher than the transmitted signal (positive Doppler shift).} \\[6pt]\bullet \ \text{When a target moves away from the radar, the frequency of the reflected signal is lower (negative Doppler shift).} \\[6pt]\bullet \ \text{By measuring this frequency difference (Doppler shift), the radar can accurately determine the radial speed and direction of the moving object.}​​
