Depends on the method used.

In RADAR, they use the Doppler effect, coupled with specific band waves. the k( 20 - 40 GHz) range, the x range(8.0 - 12.0 GHz), and the Ka range(26.5 - 40 GHz). They also tend to use the IR range.

There is also the LADAR system. I was unable to find the wavelengths of the laser they use, but whats important is they use a focused pulse laser system that sends out about 100 pulses in 3/10ths of a second. This system does not use the Doppler effect, but some other more complex algorithms to calculate more than just speed.
