Ch. 19 Doppler Flashcards
_________________________________ is the change in frequency of sound as the sound source and receiver move closer together or farther apart
Doppler Shift is the change in frequency of sound as the sound source and receiver move closer together or farther apart
Doppler Shift is also called Doppler _______________________
Doppler Shift is also called Doppler Frequency
Doppler Shift is a _____________ frequency that rides on top of the much higher transducer frequency
Doppler Shift is a low frequency that rides on top of the much higher transducer frequency
_________________________ is the process of extracting the low doppler frequency from the transducer’s carrier frequency
Demodulation is the process of extracting the low doppler frequency from the transducer’s carrier frequency
Short formula for Doppler Shift:
Doppler Shift (Hz) = reflected frequency - transmitted frequency
When the doppler shift is positive, the reflected sound has a __________________ frequency than the transmitted sound.
When the doppler shift is positive, the reflected sound has a higher frequency than the transmitted sound
When the doppler shift is negative, the reflected sound has a ____________________ frequency than the transmitted sound.
When the doppler shift is negative, the reflected sound has a lower frequency than the transmitted sound.
Doppler frequencies indicate _________________________, not speed.
Doppler frequencies indicate velocity, not speed
Speed is purely a ____________________________
Speed if purely a magnitude
Velocity is defined by a _______________ and a _________________
Velocity is defined by a magnitude and a direction
long formula for doppler shift:
Doppler Shift = 2 V Fo Cos / C
doppler shift is ____________________ related to the velocity of red blood cells
directly
The faster the velocity, the _____________________ the doppler shift
The faster the velocity, the greater the doppler shift
The x-axis of a doppler spectrum represents _______________
The x-axis of a doppler spectrum represents time
The y-axis of a doppler spectrum represents _________________________ or __________________________
The y-axis of a doppler spectrum represents Doppler shift or velocity
doppler shift is _________________ related to the frequency of the transmitted sound
doppler shift is directly related to the frequency of the transmitted sound
If the transducer frequency is doubled, the doppler shift will _______________
double
What is the range of frequencies for doppler shift?
20 Hertz - 20,000 Hertz (audiable range)
What is the relationship between the transmitted frequency and the doppler shift?
Directly related
When blood cells are moving __________ to the sound beam the entire velocity is measured
When blood cells are moving parallel to the sound beam the entire velocity is measured
The percentage of the true velocity that is measured depends on the ______________ of the angle between the sound beam and the direction of motion.
The percentage of the true velocity that is measured depends on the cosine of the angle between the sound beam and the direction of motion

higher
Continuous wave doppler requires __________ crystals within the transducer

What is the greatest advantage of pulsed wave doppler?
the greatest advantage of pulsed wave doppler is being able to select the exact location where velocities are measured, called range resolution
