Does Doppler effect change phase?

Although "Doppler" has become synonymous with "velocity measurement" in medical imaging, in many cases it is not the frequency shift (Doppler shift) of the received signal that is measured, but the phase shift (when the received signal arrives).

What is Doppler phase shift?

With the "Doppler shift", the sound pitch of an object moving toward your location is higher due to compression (a change in the phase) of sound waves. As an object moves away from your location, sound waves are stretched resulting in a lower frequency.

What happens during the Doppler effect?

The Doppler effect, or Doppler shift, describes the changes in frequency of any kind of sound or light wave produced by a moving source with respect to an observer. Waves emitted by an object traveling toward an observer get compressed — prompting a higher frequency — as the source approaches the observer.

Under what conditions does Doppler effect occur?

Doppler Effect is applicable only when the velocities of the source of the sound and the observer are much less than the velocity of sound. The motion of both source and the observer should be along the same straight line.
