carrier frequency[′kar·ē·ər ‚frē·kwən·sē] (communications) The frequency generated by an unmodulated radio, radar, carrier communication, or other transmitter, or the average frequency of the emitted wave when modulated by a symmetrical signal. Also known as center frequency; resting frequency. Carrier Frequency the frequency of harmonic waves that are modulated by signals in order to transmit information. A wave at the carrier frequency is sometimes called a carrier wave, or a carrier. Waves at the carrier frequency do not, in themselves, contain any information; they only “carry” the information. In addition to the carrier frequency, the spectrum of modulated waves also includes the side frequencies, which contain the information being transmitted. carrier frequencyThe frequency of the alternating current carrier, which produces the electromagnetic waves that radiate from radio-transmitting antennae. The audio-frequency signals from the microphone modulate the carrier. It is the steady frequency of a modulated wave and is the same as that before modulation is applied.carrier frequencyThe transmission of a fixed frequency that has been altered (modulated) to "carry" data. The frequency is measured in Hertz (cycles per second). See carrier, Hz, FDM and TDM.LegalSeecarrierEncyclopediaSeec & f |
