This paper presents the Doppler Scanning technique which enables us to detect the relative positions of moving distributed sources using Doppler frequency shift estimate when the moving source consists of distributed sources with different signature frequencies. Doppler frequency shifts of characteristic frequencies of machinery noise sources such as ship's generator and propeller, with tine along CPA (Closest Point of Approach of moving source) are unique, and can be functioned with respect to each source position. Therefore, this technique can be applied to estimate the relative geometrical positions between machinery noise sources. The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) which has a high frequency resolution with high time resolution, is adopted for improving accuracy of Doppler frequency shift estimate geometric resolution of machinery positions since machinery noise sources show in general low frequency band characteristics with limited spacial distance. The performance of the technique is examined by the numerical simulations and is verified by the experiment using loudspeaker sources on the roof of the car.

A wind velocity is measured in a weather radar as well as the strength of return echoes from rain clouds. These wind velocities are obtained through estimation of Doppler frequencies in return signals. This kind of Doppler frequency estimation method is called as a correlation method. It is widely used in most weather radars because of less computation time. However, it may cause serious errors if a spectrum is not symmetric. Therefore, in this paper, it is shown that the improved method using 3^rd order phase estimation model yields the more accurate estimation of the average Doppler frequency using various simulated weather data.

A current velocity measurement radar estimates Doppler frequencies to extract the corresponding surface velocity information. Therefore, it is required to maintain the high degree of reliability and accuracy of Doppler frequency estimates. However, Doppler spectra of water surface return echoes can have very widely varying shapes according to measurement environments and weather conditions. Therefore, serious problems may arise in maintaining the reliability and accuracy of conventional velocity estimating algorithm in a radar sensor. Therefore, in this paper, a newly suggested algorithm is proposed for improvement using estimation of peak Doppler frequencies. The proposed method shows that the more accurate velocity measurement can be possible comparing with the conventional one.

Conventional PW Doppler systems suffer from the ambiguity of measured blood velocities due to the spectrum aliasing when the corresponding Doppler frequencies are greater than the Nyquist frequency. Base-line shift is a customary method for dealiasing the Doppler spectrums. I lowever, Doppler audio signals still remain unchanged even when the base-line shift method is applied. This paper de scribes an method for dealiasing both the Doppler spectra and audio signals by using sampling rate expansion, frequency shifting, and filtering poerations. For undirectional flows, the method can increase the maximum detectable Doppler frequency from the Nyquist limit of one-half of the Pulse Repetition Frequency(PRF) to the PRF. Experiments with real data have been performed to verify the proposed method.

초음파는 액체 및 고체의 매질 속에서도 그 전달 특성이 우수하여 수중 물체의 감지, 지질 조사 자원탐사뿐만 아니라, 의학 분야에서도 널리 사용되고 있다. 물체유동정보 측정방식에는 연속파를 이용한 도플러식과 펄스 신호를 이용한 도플러는 거리 분해능이 좋으므로 깊이에 따른 속도 정보를 쉽게 얻을 수 있는 장점이 있으나, 수신되는 도플러 신호가 탐촉자의 특성과 매질 속에서의 전파특성 등에 의하여 송신된 신호와 파형이 다르고 복잡한 주파수 특성을 가지므로 연속파에서와 같이 도플러 주파수를 직접 측정하기 곤란하다. 도플러 주파수를 검출하기 위하여 여러 방법이 개발되어 있으나, 측정거리와 측정속도의 제약과 더불어, 실시간(real time) 처리에 의한 분포적 측정이 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 시간 영역에서 국소 데이터를 이용하여 펄스 신호의 위상을 정의하고 실시간에서 펄스 신호를 위상으로 변환하는 신호 처리법을 제안하였다. 또한 이 신호 처리법을 응용하여 측정 범위의 위상 곡선에서 위상 차를 계산함으로써 평균 가속도와 유동속도정보를 분포적으로 얻을 수 있는 새로운 펄스 도플러 기법을 제안하였으며, 모델 신호를 만들어 제안된 방법의 유용성을 검토하였다.

Filtered multi-tone (FMT) is a form of multicarrier modulation utilizing frequency-domain equalization efficient in multi-path fading channels. Doppler frequency information can be employed for channel estimation and link adaptation to improve the performance. However, most previous studies have concentrated on the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) instead of FMT. Moreover, they have not considered the synchronization error that can commonly occur in practical systems. In this paper, we propose Doppler frequency estimation scheme that is effective in FMT systems with residual synchronization error and high noise levels.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a method of remote sound extraction using laser Doppler interferometry. The output frequency of a laser Doppler interferometer changes to be the same as the frequency of the acoustic wave from than object vibrated by the sound due to the Doppler effect. Based on this phenomenon, we measure the vibrational frequency of a remote target affected by a sound wave in real time, via laser Doppler interferometry. We track the peak frequency of the interferometer's output via appropriate signal processing, which confirms that the characteristics of the so detected wave are the same as that of the original sound source. We also confirm that the same method can retrieve the sound waves not only from remote sources of single tones, but from those of any sound.

There are many research to find not only user data but also physical information about objects or human in radio signals. And we can obtain physical information from the wireless signals such as RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator), Doppler frequency and other values. For example, the Doppler frequency is generated by the object moving physically in wireless signals used for communication. By analyzing the Doppler frequency, the moving speed and direction of the object can be predicted. In this paper, we study the previous research which is to detect the moving objects or human using wireless signals, 802.11a signals. We introduce and verify the method to improve the frequency domain resolution of commercial 802.11a receivers to observe the doppler frequency and obtain the information of the moving objects or human.

We analyze the effect of second-order sampling on estimating the mean frequency of the Doppler signal. In order to reduce the sampling frequency of analogue-to-digital converter, it is possible to obtain the Doppler signal by sampling the radio frequency echo signal with the low frequence of $4f_0$/5 or $4f_0$/9 instead of $4f_0$, where $f_0$ is the center frequency of the transmitted signal. The computer simulation and experiments show that if the narrowband signal is transmitted as is usual in the Doppler system, the error of the mean frequency estimates due to the low sampling frequency is negligible.

One of the principal disadvantages of multicarrier modulation technique is the sensitivity to the frequency offset introduced by Doppler shift. This frequency offset introduces inter-carrier interference (ICI) among the multiplicity of carriers in the multicarrier modulated signal. However, Doppler spread induced by temporal channel variations can Provide another means for diversity. In this paper, we propose a modified multicarrier code division multiple access (CDMA) system to exploit Doppler diversity as well as multipath diversity. The key work of our framework is a canonical time-frequency-based decomposition of the mobile wireless channel into series of independent fading channel. The decomposition naturally leads to a time-frequency generalization of the Rake receiver that exploits both multipath and Doppler diversity.
