You know I am not quite sure how to answer that..
Doppler shift is a relative thing. If you are travelling at 100kph the signal/carrier whatever relative to you is unaffected. Relative to a RX that is relatively moving either towards or away from you a shift will be apparent. The entire transmitted spectrum will be affected, not just the "carrier". There will of course be a calculable difference in shift over the bandwidth of the signal as the lower end will shift less than the upper one more. Whether it will be a significant amount or not depends on your application. A +- 10MHz wide signal at 2.4GHz for example (100kph) would be close to an extra 1Hz of shift at the signal edges. As your relaitive velocities approach the speed of light other problems crop up. I dont quite remember Einstein's stuff on this. Since though I doubt I'll never get to experiment with it I dont need to go through it again! Is that what you were looking for?
