The LO2 frequency used to track a spectral line at a given frequency Frest centered in the IF band (350 ) is

(6) |
and, from eq. (5), the image rest frequency at the band center is

(7) |
A little algebra follows
cm and result in

This result is not independent of the Doppler effect. Accordingly, it the
doppler tracking is not exact for the image frequency. and for 2 different
values, and , corresponding to different velocities and ,
we obtain (assuming no change of )

or, assuming and , and with , , the frequency
shift in MHz is

or, in velocity (in km.s)
