Definition

The Doppler effect is the change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source. In radar, this phenomenon is used to measure the relative speed of a target by detecting shifts in the reflected waves.

Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)

This principle is essential for the GENIUS Way sensor to accurately measure the speed of detected individuals.

Key properties or components
