Planetary radar astronomy, interplanetary radar measurement gives an important information about solar system, and one can worry whether the mathematical and theoretical interpretation ad hoc in terms of the Doppler phenomena is in fact justified? Another phenomenon is the Compton reaction, and both different physical phenomena oers almost the same mathematical expressions, however, with deeply distinct conceptual meaning.
A circularly polarized radio signal of a given frequency is transmitted from the ground to the moving planet, to the moving Moon, and to the moving spacecraft. Radar signal is re-transmitted (in fact reflected) and received at the ground at a reflected frequency: The textbooks and scientific journals publications claim that the difference between frequencies is caused by the Doppler shift. How much is such interpretation correct?
The Christian Doppler (1803-1853) discovery in 1842 was the relativity of the radiation energy: radiation energy (radiation colour) depends on the choice of a reference body. With respect to a system of three reference bodies the given radiation possesses three different energies (three different frequencies). The radiation possesses the absolute non-spacelike energy momenta but if a reference body is not selected then does not exists the relative energy/frequency of radiation. Thus, the radiation energy is the explicit function of two variables, depends on a timelike reference body and depends on a non-spacelike radiation. In this paper I am arguing that the planetary radar astronomy must be based on the Compton phenomena of the energy-momenta conservation.
