So it is an imaginary Doppler shift with no proof of a shift having occurred. The AM and FM on the other hand has the receiver inside the moving car or the moving Space Station (whether they can pick up the AM and FM stations). Here, the Doppler shift is either existing or nonexisting, since the radio would have to be fine tuned as per changing of the speed of the vehicle and direction of the vehicle. The point I am making is that the Radar operation does not answer the question of whether a Doppler shift in fact exists, but imposes an alleged Shift took place. The Radio as receiver is the piece of equipement that answers the question of whether a Doppler shift exists in the first place. So now, let us say someone rigged a Radar that was AM radio waves and zapped a car moving at a fast speed away. Would the AM radio have to make any adjustments compared to the same car if stationary? What the radio proves, the Radar only assumes, is that the Radio can actually detect whether a Doppler shift had occurred, because the radio would have to make adjustments, depending on whether it is a coming towards or away and how fast. As far as I know, no radio has ever needed a adjustment because of the speed of the vessel containing the radio. That means, EM waves have no Doppler effect.

Most radar operates at wavelengths less than one metre; many systems operate at a few cm. For example, the K-band used by police to detect car speeds operates between 1.1 and 1.7 cm. A few operate at longer wavelengths (over 1m) for specialized purposes. > > The difference I wanted to point out is that the radar for Doppler > radar (with its alleged > Doppler shift) is all assumption that a Doppler shift took place.

Would the AM radio have to make any AM waves are long, hundreds of metres, and are not used for radar in police radar instruments. > adjustments compared to the > same car if stationary?

But Archie is denying the existence of Doppler shifts (or something--he isn't very clear). Indeed, not only the wavelength is shifted but the actual relative time passed in the transmitter and receiver frames. I'm a little surprised by the oversight because all these people had previous experience with various orbiters (though apparently not with relay satellites at the destination). -- Mike Dworetsky (Remove pants sp*mbl*ck to reply)
