So you have had both A and B as answers.
The answer is quite simple but you have to first understand what conventional radar does and how it utilises the doppler effect to enhance it's abilities at measuring.
In order to do this, you pick up a book with the information in it or go on line and search radar and doppler effect uses with radar..
You will get the answers you need, you would have learned something and maybe, just maybe you will save the earth one day simply by understanding radar and the doppler effect.
Whatever, you will have LEARNT something.

I personally have also wondered what the difference is since the doppler effect is the result of wave compression or extension from a source relative to an observer. ALL radars work because of the doppler effect, so aren't all radars even the one the cop has on the side of the road a doppler radar?
