  Doppler can refer to:

Doppler effect and its applications

  • Doppler broadening
    Doppler broadening

    In atomic physics, Doppler broadening is the broadening of spectral lines due to the Doppler effect in which the heat movement of atoms or molecules shifts the apparent frequency of each emitter....
  • Doppler echocardiography
    Doppler echocardiography

    Doppler echocardiography is a procedure which uses ultrasound technology to examine the heart. An echocardiogram uses high frequency sound waves to create an image of the heart while the use of doppler technology allows determination the speed and direction of blood flow by utilizing the doppler effect....
  • Doppler effect
    Doppler effect

    The Doppler effect , named after Austrian physicist Christian Doppler who proposed it in 1842, is the change in frequency and wavelength of a wave for an observer moving relative to the source of the waves....
  • Doppler fetal monitor
    Doppler fetal monitor

    A Doppler fetal monitor or Doppler fetal heart rate monitor is a hand-held ultrasound transducer that uses the Doppler effect to detect the heart beat of a fetus and provides an audible simulation of the heart beat....
  • Doppler radar
    Doppler radar

    A doppler radar is a radar using the doppler effect of the returned echoes from targets to measure their radial velocity. To be more specific the microwave signal sent by the radar antenna's directional beam is reflected toward the radar and compared in frequency, up or down from the original signal, allowing for the direct and highly accur...
  • Doppler sonography
    Medical ultrasonography

    Diagnostic sonography is an ultrasound-based diagnostic medical imaging technique used to visualize subcutaneous body structures including tendons, muscles, joints, vessels and internal organs for possible pathology or lesions....
  • Pulse-Doppler radar
    Pulse-doppler radar

    Pulse-Doppler is a radar system capable of not only detecting target location , but also measuring its radial velocity . It uses the Doppler effect to determine the relative velocity of objects; pulses of RF energy returning from the target are processed to measure the frequency shift between carrier cycles in each pulse and the original tra...


Persons

  • Christian Doppler
    Christian Doppler

    Christian Andreas Doppler was an Austrian mathematician and physicist. He is most famous for what is now called the Doppler effect, which is the apparent change in frequency and wavelength of a wave as perceived by an observer moving relative to the wave's source....

  • Franz Doppler
    Franz Doppler

    Albert Franz Doppler was primarily a flute virtuoso and a composer best known for his music for flute. He also wrote one German and several Hungarian operas for Budapest, all produced with great success....

  • Doppler, the mascot of the WNBA's Seattle Storm
    Seattle Storm

    The Seattle Storm is a Women's National Basketball Association team based in Seattle, Washington. They are currently led by Australian basketball star Lauren Jackson and University of Connecticut star Sue Bird....
