Mar 9, 2018 · Doppler radar works by sending a beam of electromagnetic radiation waves, tuned to a precise frequency, at a moving object. (You can use Doppler radar on a stationary object, of course, but it's fairly uninteresting unless the target is moving.)

Jul 9, 2019 · How Does Doppler Radar Work? Doppler radar works a little bit differently from older radars. Instead of merely just measuring the reflectivity of precipitation, it also detects the shape, position, and form as well.
Oct 16, 2023 · Doppler radar uses the Doppler effect to measure the speed (radial velocity) of targets. Radial velocity is how fast the target is coming towards, or going away from, the radar. The Doppler effect will shift the received frequency up or down, based on the radial velocity of a target in the beam.
