The Uni-Vibe , also marketed as the Jax Vibra-Chorus , is a footpedal -operated phaser or phase shifter for creating chorus and vibrato simulations for electric organ or guitar . Designed by audio engineer Fumio Mieda, it was introduced in the 1960s by Japanese company Shin-ei (at the time Honey) originally branded as the Vibra-Chorus. The effect (now named Uni-Vibe) was modified to have easier access to its fuse, and a speed control foot pedal was added. It was later released in North America by Univox in 1968.

47-558: It is commonly thought the Uni-Vibe is intended to emulate the " Doppler sound" of a Leslie speaker . However Fumio Mieda revealed in an interview the effect was based on hearing radio signals (like Radio Moscow) undergoing “atmospheric modulation”. The effect has made its mark on tracks like Robin Trower 's " Bridge of Sighs ", Jimi Hendrix 's " Machine Gun " and Pink Floyd 's " Breathe ". The effect, though often associated with chorus,

94-545: A conventional Doppler shift. The first experiment that detected this effect was conducted by Nigel Seddon and Trevor Bearpark in Bristol , United Kingdom in 2003. Later, the inverse Doppler effect was observed in some inhomogeneous materials, and predicted inside a Vavilov–Cherenkov cone.

141-404: A function of the angle between his line of sight and the siren's velocity: v radial = v s cos ⁡ ( θ ) {\displaystyle v_{\text{radial}}=v_{\text{s}}\cos(\theta )} where θ {\displaystyle \theta } is the angle between the object's forward velocity and the line of sight from the object to

188-595: A non-contact instrument for measuring vibration. The laser beam from the LDV is directed at the surface of interest, and the vibration amplitude and frequency are extracted from the Doppler shift of the laser beam frequency due to the motion of the surface. Dynamic real-time path planning in robotics to aid the movement of robots in a sophisticated environment with moving obstacles often take help of Doppler effect. Such applications are specially used for competitive robotics where

235-410: A rapidly rotating wheel with 720 teeth. The speed of the wheel was increased until, at 12.6 rotations per second, the returning light hit the next tooth and could not be seen. At 25.2 rotations per second, the light was again visible. This gives a result of 2 x 8633m x 25.2 x 720/s = 313,274,304 m/s , which is within 5% of the correct value ( 299,792,458 meters per second ). (See Fizeau's measurement of

282-403: A series of investigations on the interference of light and heat. In 1848, he predicted the redshifting of electromagnetic waves . In 1849, Fizeau calculated a value for the speed of light to a better precision than the previous value determined by Ole Rømer in 1676. He used a beam of light reflected from a mirror 8633 meters away. The beam passed through the gaps between the teeth of

329-439: A stationary observer and a wave source moving towards the observer at (or exceeding) the speed of the wave, the Doppler equation predicts an infinite (or negative) frequency as from the observer's perspective. Thus, the Doppler equation is inapplicable for such cases. If the wave is a sound wave and the sound source is moving faster than the speed of sound, the resulting shock wave creates a sonic boom . Lord Rayleigh predicted

376-571: A very small scale; there would not be a noticeable difference in visible light to the unaided eye. The use of the Doppler effect in astronomy depends on knowledge of precise frequencies of discrete lines in the spectra of stars. Among the nearby stars , the largest radial velocities with respect to the Sun are +308 km/s ( BD-15°4041 , also known as LHS 52, 81.7 light-years away) and −260 km/s ( Woolley 9722 , also known as Wolf 1106 and LHS 64, 78.2 light-years away). Positive radial speed means

423-471: Is an effective tool for diagnosis of vascular problems like stenosis . Instruments such as the laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV), and acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV) have been developed to measure velocities in a fluid flow. The LDV emits a light beam and the ADV emits an ultrasonic acoustic burst, and measure the Doppler shift in wavelengths of reflections from particles moving with the flow. The actual flow

470-520: Is computed as a function of the water velocity and phase. This technique allows non-intrusive flow measurements, at high precision and high frequency. Developed originally for velocity measurements in medical applications (blood flow), Ultrasonic Doppler Velocimetry (UDV) can measure in real time complete velocity profile in almost any liquids containing particles in suspension such as dust, gas bubbles, emulsions. Flows can be pulsating, oscillating, laminar or turbulent, stationary or transient. This technique

517-405: Is fired at a moving target – e.g. a motor car, as police use radar to detect speeding motorists – as it approaches or recedes from the radar source. Each successive radar wave has to travel farther to reach the car, before being reflected and re-detected near the source. As each wave has to move farther, the gap between each wave increases, increasing the wavelength. In some situations, the radar beam

564-422: Is fired at the moving car as it approaches, in which case each successive wave travels a lesser distance, decreasing the wavelength. In either situation, calculations from the Doppler effect accurately determine the car's speed. Moreover, the proximity fuze , developed during World War II, relies upon Doppler radar to detonate explosives at the correct time, height, distance, etc. Because the Doppler shift affects

611-458: Is fully non-invasive. The Doppler shift can be exploited for satellite navigation such as in Transit and DORIS . Doppler also needs to be compensated in satellite communication . Fast moving satellites can have a Doppler shift of dozens of kilohertz relative to a ground station. The speed, thus magnitude of Doppler effect, changes due to earth curvature. Dynamic Doppler compensation, where

658-511: Is in fact created through a staggered series of phasing filters and an optical circuit utilizing LDRs (Light Dependent Resistor) and an incandescent bulb inside a light shield with a reflective interior, unlike the usually aligned filters of a normal phasing effect. Unlike most other phaser pedals, this is achieved without the use of op-amps . The Uni-Vibe phase shifter was known for its throbbing, hypnotic pulse and lo-fi sweep. These unique effects set it apart from other modulation-type effects at

705-409: Is increased. Conversely, if the source of the sound wave is moving away from the observer, each cycle of the wave is emitted from a position farther from the observer than the previous cycle, so the arrival time between successive cycles is increased, thus reducing the frequency. For waves that propagate in a medium, such as sound waves, the velocity of the observer and of the source are relative to

752-407: Is the change in the frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the source of the wave. The Doppler effect is named after the physicist Christian Doppler , who described the phenomenon in 1842. A common example of Doppler shift is the change of pitch heard when a vehicle sounding a horn approaches and recedes from an observer. Compared to the emitted frequency,

799-413: Is the speed of the mobile station, λ c {\displaystyle \lambda _{\rm {c}}} is the wavelength of the carrier, ϕ {\displaystyle \phi } is the elevation angle of the satellite and θ {\displaystyle \theta } is the driving direction with respect to the satellite. The additional Doppler shift due to

"Fizeau" is one of the 72 names inscribed on the frieze below the first platform of the Eiffel Tower, all of whom were French scientists, mathematicians, engineers, or industrialists from the hundred years before the tower's public opening for the 1889 World's Fair .

940-657: The cardiac output . Contrast-enhanced ultrasound using gas-filled microbubble contrast media can be used to improve velocity or other flow-related medical measurements. Although "Doppler" has become synonymous with "velocity measurement" in medical imaging, in many cases it is not the frequency shift (Doppler shift) of the received signal that is measured, but the phase shift ( when the received signal arrives). Velocity measurements of blood flow are also used in other fields of medical ultrasonography , such as obstetric ultrasonography and neurology . Velocity measurement of blood flow in arteries and veins based on Doppler effect

1034-518: The Doppler–Fizeau effect. In 1853, Fizeau described the use of a capacitor (sometimes termed a "condenser") as a means to increase the efficiency of the induction coil . Later, he studied the thermal expansion of solids and applied the phenomenon of interference of light to the measurement of the dilatations of crystals . He became a member of the Académie des Sciences in 1860 and a member of

1081-450: The coloured light of the binary stars and some other stars of the heavens). The hypothesis was tested for sound waves by Buys Ballot in 1845. He confirmed that the sound's pitch was higher than the emitted frequency when the sound source approached him, and lower than the emitted frequency when the sound source receded from him. Hippolyte Fizeau discovered independently the same phenomenon on electromagnetic waves in 1848 (in France,

1128-430: The cosmological redshift is that it is indeed a Doppler shift. Distant galaxies also exhibit peculiar motion distinct from their cosmological recession speeds. If redshifts are used to determine distances in accordance with Hubble's law , then these peculiar motions give rise to redshift-space distortions . The Doppler effect is used in some types of radar , to measure the velocity of detected objects. A radar beam

1175-454: The direction of blood flow and the velocity of blood and cardiac tissue at any arbitrary point using the Doppler effect. One of the limitations is that the ultrasound beam should be as parallel to the blood flow as possible. Velocity measurements allow assessment of cardiac valve areas and function, abnormal communications between the left and right side of the heart, leaking of blood through the valves (valvular regurgitation), and calculation of

1222-404: The effect is sometimes called "effet Doppler-Fizeau" but that name was not adopted by the rest of the world as Fizeau's discovery was six years after Doppler's proposal). In Britain, John Scott Russell made an experimental study of the Doppler effect (1848). In classical physics, where the speeds of source and the receiver relative to the medium are lower than the speed of waves in the medium,

1269-415: The environment is constantly changing, such as robosoccer. Since 1968 scientists such as Victor Veselago have speculated about the possibility of an inverse Doppler effect. The size of the Doppler shift depends on the refractive index of the medium a wave is traveling through. Some materials are capable of negative refraction , which should lead to a Doppler shift that works in a direction opposite that of

1316-445: The following effect in his classic book on sound: if the observer were moving from the (stationary) source at twice the speed of sound, a musical piece previously emitted by that source would be heard in correct tempo and pitch, but as if played backwards . A siren on a passing emergency vehicle will start out higher than its stationary pitch, slide down as it passes, and continue lower than its stationary pitch as it recedes from

1363-506: The frequency of a signal is changed progressively during transmission, is used so the satellite receives a constant frequency signal. After realizing that the Doppler shift had not been considered before launch of the Huygens probe of the 2005 Cassini–Huygens mission, the probe trajectory was altered to approach Titan in such a way that its transmissions traveled perpendicular to its direction of motion relative to Cassini, greatly reducing

1410-439: The frequency will decrease if either source or receiver is moving away from the other. Equivalently, under the assumption that the source is either directly approaching or receding from the observer: f v w r = f 0 v w s = 1 λ {\displaystyle {\frac {f}{v_{wr}}}={\frac {f_{0}}{v_{ws}}}={\frac {1}{\lambda }}} where If

1551-556: The medium in which the waves are transmitted. The total Doppler effect in such cases may therefore result from motion of the source, motion of the observer, motion of the medium, or any combination thereof. For waves propagating in vacuum , as is possible for electromagnetic waves or gravitational waves , only the difference in velocity between the observer and the source needs to be considered. Doppler first proposed this effect in 1842 in his treatise " Über das farbige Licht der Doppelsterne und einiger anderer Gestirne des Himmels " (On

1598-471: The observer. The Doppler effect for electromagnetic waves such as light is of widespread use in astronomy to measure the speed at which stars and galaxies are approaching or receding from us, resulting in so called blueshift or redshift , respectively. This may be used to detect if an apparently single star is, in reality, a close binary , to measure the rotational speed of stars and galaxies, or to detect exoplanets . This effect typically happens on

1645-442: The observer. Astronomer John Dobson explained the effect thus: The reason the siren slides is because it doesn't hit you. In other words, if the siren approached the observer directly, the pitch would remain constant, at a higher than stationary pitch, until the vehicle hit him, and then immediately jump to a new lower pitch. Because the vehicle passes by the observer, the radial speed does not remain constant, but instead varies as

1692-403: The received frequency is higher during the approach, identical at the instant of passing by, and lower during the recession. When the source of the sound wave is moving towards the observer, each successive cycle of the wave is emitted from a position closer to the observer than the previous cycle. Hence, from the observer's perspective, the time between cycles is reduced, meaning the frequency

1739-475: The relationship between observed frequency f {\displaystyle f} and emitted frequency f 0 {\displaystyle f_{\text{0}}} is given by: f = ( c ± v r c ∓ v s ) f 0 {\displaystyle f=\left({\frac {c\pm v_{\text{r}}}{c\mp v_{\text{s}}}}\right)f_{0}} where Note this relationship predicts that

1833-399: The satellite. The Leslie speaker , most commonly associated with and predominantly used with the famous Hammond organ , takes advantage of the Doppler effect by using an electric motor to rotate an acoustic horn around a loudspeaker, sending its sound in a circle. This results at the listener's ear in rapidly fluctuating frequencies of a keyboard note. A laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) is

1880-425: The source approaches the observer at an angle (but still with a constant speed), the observed frequency that is first heard is higher than the object's emitted frequency. Thereafter, there is a monotonic decrease in the observed frequency as it gets closer to the observer, through equality when it is coming from a direction perpendicular to the relative motion (and was emitted at the point of closest approach; but when

1927-509: The speed of light in air .) Fizeau made the first suggestion in 1864 that the "speed of a light wave be used as a length standard". In 1850 he measured the relative speeds of light in air and water , using a rotating mirror, however Foucault independently achieved the same result seven weeks earlier. Fizeau was involved in the discovery of the Doppler effect , which is known in French as

1974-1183: The speed of the wave, the relationship between observed frequency f {\displaystyle f} and emitted frequency f 0 {\displaystyle f_{\text{0}}} is approximately where Given f = ( c + v r c + v s ) f 0 {\displaystyle f=\left({\frac {c+v_{\text{r}}}{c+v_{\text{s}}}}\right)f_{0}} we divide for c {\displaystyle c} f = ( 1 + v r c 1 + v s c ) f 0 = ( 1 + v r c ) ( 1 1 + v s c ) f 0 {\displaystyle f=\left({\frac {1+{\frac {v_{\text{r}}}{c}}}{1+{\frac {v_{\text{s}}}{c}}}}\right)f_{0}=\left(1+{\frac {v_{\text{r}}}{c}}\right)\left({\frac {1}{1+{\frac {v_{\text{s}}}{c}}}}\right)f_{0}} Since v s c ≪ 1 {\displaystyle {\frac {v_{\text{s}}}{c}}\ll 1} we can substitute using

2021-483: The star is receding from the Sun, negative that it is approaching. Redshift is also used to measure the expansion of the universe . It is sometimes claimed that this is not truly a Doppler effect but instead arises from the expansion of space. However, this picture can be misleading because the expansion of space is only a mathematical convention, corresponding to a choice of coordinates . The most natural interpretation of

2162-561: The wave is received, the source and observer will no longer be at their closest), and a continued monotonic decrease as it recedes from the observer. When the observer is very close to the path of the object, the transition from high to low frequency is very abrupt. When the observer is far from the path of the object, the transition from high to low frequency is gradual. If the speeds v s {\displaystyle v_{\text{s}}} and v r {\displaystyle v_{\text{r}}\,} are small compared to

In 1851, he measured the speed of light in moving water in an experiment known as the Fizeau experiment . Fizeau was born in Paris to Louis and Beatrice Fizeau. He married into the de Jussieu botanical family. His earliest work was concerned with improvements in photographic processes.
