It SHOULD include it but if as you say above your program
does not take this into account, that could explain why it
is missing the VDoppler effect.


I'm working on it. I'll eventually find what's happening.

I can see that your approach might make it tricky. Let
me know when you crack it.

See http://www.users.bigpond.com/hewn/bunching.jpg

This shows how the phase of the TRUE velocity maximum changes with distance
when compared with the maximum bunching. The latter (maximum pulse arrival
rate) is wrongly assumed to indicate the maximum doppler shift.

I think this answers your questions George.

The standard doppler approach applied to pulse arrival rate gives a completely
wrong answer.
