The frequency shift observed at a receiver due to any relative motion between transmitter and receiver. 2, record 1, English, - Doppler%20shift
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The Doppler frequency depends on the component of satellite velocity in the line-of-sight direction to the target. This direction changes with each satellite position along the flight path, so the Doppler frequency varies with azimuth time. For this reason, azimuth frequency is often referred to as Doppler frequency. 6, record 1, English, - Doppler%20shift

The difference between the phase of the incoming Doppler-shifted GPS carrier and the phase of a nominally constant reference frequency generated in the receiver. 1, record 2, English, - reconstructed%20carrier%20phase
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
For static positioning, the reconstructed carrier phase is sampled at epochs determined by a clock in the receiver. The reconstructed carrier phase changes according to the continuously integrated Doppler shift of the incoming signal, biased by the integral of the frequency offset between the satellite and receiver reference oscillators. The reconstructed carrier phase can be related to the satellite-to-receiver range, once the initial range(or phase ambiguity) has been determined. A change in the satellite-to-receiver range of one wavelength of the GPS carrier(19 cm for L1) will result in a one-cycle change in the phase of the reconstructed carrier. 1, record 2, English, - reconstructed%20carrier%20phase

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Aux fins du positionnement statique, la phase reconstituée de la porteuse est échantillonnée suivant des époques déterminées d'après une horloge dans le récepteur. La phase reconstituée de la porteuse varie en fonction du décalage Doppler, intégré de manière ininterrompue, modifié par l'intégrale du décalage de fréquence entre les oscillateurs de référence du récepteur et du satellite. La phase reconstituée de la porteuse peut être mise en relation avec la distance satellite-récepteur une fois la distance initiale (ambiguïté de phase) déterminée. Une modification de la distance satellite-récepteur égale à une longueur d'onde de la porteuse du GPS (19 cm pour L1) résulte en une modification égale à un cycle de la phase reconstituée de la porteuse. 1, record 2, French, - phase%20reconstitu%C3%A9e%20de%20la%20porteuse

The laser(or lidar) velocimeter [lidar=light radar] operates in a fashion entirely analogous to that of the airborne Doppler weather radars likely soon to be available for detecting turbulence in storm cells. As with radars, the device detects air movements by observing the motion of particles suspended in the air and carried with it. The only significant difference is that a beam of coherent infrared radiation is used to scan ahead of the aircraft, instead of a beam(or series of pulses) of radio energy in the considerably longer-wavelength microwave band. The frequency of the back-scattered echoes or reflections undergoes Doppler shift detection by standard heterodyning techniques, which involve comparing the frequency of the reflected illumination with that of the original laser beam. Any reflecting object or material which has motion relative to the transmitter/receiver will cause a detectable shift in frequency, which can be isolated from the transmitter's own proper motion(over the ground) and thus yield a precise indication of the speed at which the air is moving several hundred metres in front of the aircraft. From this data, it is easy to compute what the air speed of the aircraft will be when it reaches that particular patch of air in a few seconds’ time [and hence detect possible turbulence ahead]. 2, record 3, English, - laser%20velocimeter
