A block diagram of a quasioptical (QO) frequency shifter (FS) is proposed, in which a transverse Doppler effect has been originally employed. This block diagram provides for a continuous frequency shift much as polarization frequency shifters do. The physical processes that occur in the FS under consideration have been analyzed. It is found that the mirror moving transversely to the incident radiation along with the known force of pressure is acted upon by the lateral force directed towards the mirror motion. The FS block diagram ensures a 4-fold return of the QO beam from the mirror and eliminates the influence of parasitic mirror vibrations on the transmitted radiation phase. The application of the proposed FS may be found to be beneficial in homodyne measuring systems with frequencies ranging from THz and higher up to the optical ones.
