Examplesofupshift

upshift
For this case, the amplitude of the downshift peak becomes larger than that of theupshiftpeak.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The spectrum also shows a frequencyupshift, while the magnitude of the peak is not changed.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The frequencyupshiftand downshift caused by the rapid ionization and the collisional energy losses can then be clearly demonstrated.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Both the frequencyupshiftand the pulse lengthening may provide experimental diagnostics for microcavity generation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This is a ray-tracing model for frequencyupshiftof waves interacting with relativistic plasma perturbations, such as ionization fronts and plasma wakefields.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Theupshiftdecreases the critical density value for the trapped radiation and therefore wavelengths much shor ter than l escape from the cavity.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus
The experimental results show that the peak of the frequency spectrum of the transmitted pulse starts with anupshifttendency as the ionization increases.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In other words, the ' effective ' collision frequency can become comparable to the ionization frequency, so the amount of frequencyupshiftand downshift will be of the same order of magnitude.
