3.6.3.5.3. Carrier Doppler Shift in Non-Coherent Mode
In non-coherent mode, the Doppler shift on the received carrier frequency depends on the operating mode: one-
way RF lock or two-way RF lock.
Besides, because the transponder locally generates the downlink carrier, the actual downlink frequency is
unknown and it can exist a frequency bias of several kHz, due to on-board oscillators drift, with respect to the
expected downlink frequency.
Consequently, contrary to the coherent mode case, there isn’t an exact a priori knowledge of the ratio between
the carrier Doppler shift and the tone Doppler shift. This ratio:
f
dop_carrier
2f
dop_tone
can only be approximated, using the expected value of the transponder downlink frequency. It also depends on
the tracking mode.
Example : Let us consider the following system:

Spacecraft Mode : Non-Coherent Two-way RF lock

Expected Downlink Carrier : 2250 MHz

Ranging Tone Frequency : 0.5 MHz

Downlink Frequency Bias : 20 kHz
The approximated Carrier Doppler shift / Tone Doppler shift ratio values:
