Doppler Effect: Transforming Radar Technology
In our latest post, we highlight one of the most important principles that contribute to radar technology: the Doppler Effect. In 1842, Austrian physicist Christian Doppler discovered a phenomenon that would transform multiple fields: the Doppler Effect. This principle, describing the change in frequency of waves relative to a moving observer, has become a cornerstone of radar technology.
