Abstract
A method and apparatus for inducing a Doppler frequency shift in a reference beam laser velocimeter light beam to simulate target velocity wherein the light beam is passed through a rotating refractive transparent block positioned between two reference points along the beam resulting in a continuous change in the light beam optical path length between the reference points according to a known function. The velocity indicated by the laser velocimeter is compared to the known simulated velocity function for velocimeter testing and calibration.
