They are also checked for a doppler shift due to planetary motion.

To escape detection, an advanced species would send out Doppler-shift-proof signals. (But I can't imagine how they'd manage that trick.) Well, maybe they'd only send out very brief signals at the same time each day. You'd never see a difference.

Except our planet is rotating as well. :-)
