  2. Weather radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_radar

    Weather radar in Norman, Oklahoma with rainshaft Weather (WF44) radar dish University of Oklahoma OU-PRIME C-band, polarimetric, weather radar during construction. Weather radar, also called weather surveillance radar (WSR) and Doppler weather radar, is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, and estimate its type (rain, snow, hail etc.).

    AN/APN-179 Doppler navigational radar by Bendix Corporation for EC-47; AN/APN-182 improved AN/APN-130 Doppler navigational radar system by Teledyne used with AN/AYK-2 for SH-3H CH-46, HH-46A/D SH-2D, UH-2C and RH-53; AN/APN-185 Doppler navigational radar by Singer Corporation for FB-111A A-7D and B-1A; AN/APN-186 Doppler radar system for A-6 ...

  4. Doppler radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radar

    A Doppler radar is a specialized radar that uses the Doppler effect to produce velocity data about objects at a distance. [1] It does this by bouncing a microwave signal off a desired target and analyzing how the object's motion has altered the frequency of the returned signal.

  5. Doppler ultrasonography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_ultrasonography

    Meanwhile, spectral Doppler ultrasonography consists of three components: B-mode, Doppler mode, and spectral waveform displayed at the lower half of the image. Therefore, "duplex ultrasonography" is a misnomer for spectral Doppler ultrasonography, and more exact name should be "triplex ultrasonography".

  6. Doppler on Wheels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_on_Wheels

    Doppler on Wheels (or DOW) is a fleet of X-band and C-band mobile and quickly-deployable truck-borne radars which are the core instrumentation of the Flexible Array of Radars and Mesonets [1] affiliated with the University of Alabama Huntsville [2] and led by Joshua Wurman, with the funding partially provided by the National Science Foundation ...

  7. Pulse-Doppler radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-Doppler_radar

    Search radar that include pulse-Doppler are usually dual mode because best overall performance is achieved when pulse-Doppler is used for areas with high false alarm rates (horizon or below and weather), while conventional radar will scan faster in free-space where false alarm rate is low (above horizon with clear skies).

  8. Laser Doppler vibrometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Doppler_vibrometer

    A laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) is a scientific instrument that is used to make non-contact vibration measurements of a surface. The laser beam from the LDV is directed at the surface of interest, and the vibration amplitude and frequency are extracted from the Doppler shift of the reflected laser beam frequency due to the motion of the surface.

  9. Doppler echocardiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_echocardiography

    Doppler echocardiography is a procedure that uses Doppler ultrasonography to examine the heart. [1] An echocardiogram uses high frequency sound waves to create an image of the heart while the use of Doppler technology allows determination of the speed and direction of blood flow by utilizing the Doppler effect .
