A Doppler radar is used to determine the speed of a moving vehicle by measuring the frequency shift of the wave reflected from the vehicle.

(a)     Assuming that the reflecting surface of the vehicle can be represented by a perfectly conducting plane and that the transmitted signal is a time-harmonic uniform plane wave of a frequency f incident normally on the reflecting surface, find the relation between the frequency shift Δf and the speed u of the vehicle.


(b)    Determine u both in (km/hr) and in (miles/hr) if Δf = 2.33 (kHz) with f = 10.5 (GHz).
