Encyclopedia > Carrier frequency

Carrier frequency is the fundamental frequency used in both amplitude modulation and frequency modulation i.e. it is the frequency which is modulated and is the frequency to which a receiver should be tuned in order to demodulate the information signal.


In a sense, the carrier frequency "carries" the information.

Amplitude modulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1251 words)
The output of this process is a signal with the same frequency as the carrier but with peaks and troughs that vary in proportion to the strength of the modulating signal.
Its output is a signal at the carrier frequency, with peaks that trace the amplitude of the unmodulated signal.
In practice, a capacitor is used to undo the DC shift introduced by the transmitter and to eliminate the carrier frequency by connecting the signal peaks.
Carrier wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (230 words)
Carrier waves are used when transmitting radio signals to a radio receiver.
Frequency modulation (FM) and amplitude modulation (AM) signals are both transmitted with the help of carrier frequencies.
The frequency for a given radio station is actually the carrier wave's center frequency.
