Ans
remains constant

negative
If the detected frequency is *higher* than the transmitted frequency, the Doppler shift is
Ans
positive
The Doppler shift is
Ans
a low frequency that "rides" on top of the much higher transducer frequency
Demodulation
Ans
a process that extracts the low Doppler frequency from the transducer's carrier frequency
