That error is Doppler shift.


In a word, no.

How about a few more of them, then? :-)


The Doppler effect occurs downstream of transmitting
wavefront. In fact, you've shown very clearly that no
Doppler effect occurs close enough to the transmitter
for the wave to still be a plane.

Or, to say it in your newer and better way, close
enough to the transmitter that there are no frequency
dependent errors in the path to the receiver.

That makes three people that seem to understand. :-)
