The Optimal Frequency for Doppler<br />

Recall the Scattering paradox:<br />

There is a tradeoff between increased reflectivity and increased<br />

absorption with a shorter wavelength from higher frequency operation.<br />

Notice that as the depth increases beyond 3 cm, the transmit frequency<br />

really should be set as low as possible for optimal sensitivity because of<br />

the dominance of absorption.
