OK, Well the fundamental difference is that a radio Tx antenna does
not have to move to create a wave. A speaker cone on the other hand is moving to create a sound wave. Relative motion between the Rx and Tx creates Doppler. Not exactly true, at the very least, the EMF on the antenna will cause it to vibrate in the earth's magnetic field, and while this has no connection to it's radiation, Tx is still moving relative to Rx, and while this motion is extremely small, considering the relative wavelengths and propagation speeds, an exact analysis may find that it is similar to the speaker's cone motion when reproducing music. Very very very small especially when the Doppler effect is relative to the speed of light and not sound. Also it would have to vibrate at RF frequencies. There is no relative motion for an RF radiator. There is relative motion (in general) for a sound radiator. Bob has come up with some very specific cases where there can be no relative motion between acoustical Rx and Tx so those are exception cases. It still has not been established beyond a doubt that there is relative motion concerning Tx and Rx with speaker audio reproduction. There remains an element doubt that the surface of the cone is really the literal sound source. The center of motion of the cone may actually be the literal sound source, and this point doesn't move relative to the listener under normal circumstances. But if you consider both the 50 Hz and 4 kHz vibrations cone, the sound source at 4 kHz (wherever you consider it be) is certainly moving at 50 Hz. Even if you consider the center of motion at 4 kHz to be the sound source, that center is moving at 50 Hz. That is the entire point! Mark |
