Common Mistakes to Avoid

Entering values in wrong units for Doppler Frequency Shift

Check the expected unit for each input field (shown as suffix). Converting between imperial and metric units before entering values prevents calculation errors.

Using inconsistent measurement units across related inputs

When a formula combines multiple measurements, all inputs must use compatible units. Convert everything to the same system (metric or imperial) before calculating.
