carrier (cxr)
All > Technology > Telecommunications
- A wave suitable for modulation by an information-bearing signal. 2. An unmodulated emission. Note: The carrier is usually a sinusoidal wave or a uniform or predictable series of pulses. Synonym carrier wave. 3. Sometimes employed as a synonym for carrier system.
