Doppler Damage - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts. Here is the full original RF Cafe Forums on Archive.org

[color=blue]Hi,

I'm wonderning if I could get some reference material or email on the SNR loss with respect to Doppler losses and, if possible its effect w/r to modulation schemes. Mostly interested in X-to-V band with M-ary FSK, but PSK schemes, QPSK, CDMA would also be of interest.

Also would like to know timing delays for typical doppler compensation rate loops (ie how fast can ompensation loops track back to the reference signal? How many cycles are necessary to determine proper compensation? Is there an upper slew rate that is normally set for max doppler compensation in terms like (delta F/F) ? etc.)

Regards,
