 Doppler, Christian
He discovered of the Doppler effect, relative to the variation of the acoustic waves when they are under a movement effect.
Doppler explains correctly the physic phenomenon, underlining that when the waves of the sound participates in the movement of the origin, they reach our ear in shorter intervals, and when it participates in the movement but going away from the observer, the intervals are longer.
Doppler explain a similar effect that would happen with luminous waves, but his explanation wasn't very exact; but this uncompleted theory was finished properly by Fizeaua hundred of years later, and it was very important for astronomy and for the development of the theory of relativity.

Another use of uplink and downlink, working together for tracking, takes advantage of what is called the "Doppler effect" to determine the speed at which the spacecraft is moving toward or away from Earth.
If an object is sending out waves, whether they are sound, radio, or light, you can sense the motion of the object by observing the frequency of the waves received, provided you know the frequency at which they started out.

 Fetal Doppler Facts.org - What is a fetal doppler?
The fetal doppler heartbeat monitor is a non-invasive diagnostic instrument used to detect and measure the fetal heart rate.
A fetal doppler measures the fetal heart rate by emitting and receiving continuous ultrasonic sound waves and emitting the change or shift in pitch frequency of these sound waves.
Each fetal doppler monitor uses a transducer or probe of varying MGHZ (millions of cycles per second), usually 2 or 3, containing piezoelectric crystals which send short sound pulses into the directed area of the body.

Doppler also suggested that his 'principle' could be applied to any type of wave motion, such as light, and in 1848 Armand Fizeau showed that shifts in the spectral lines of stars could be observed and ascribed to the Doppler effect.
