carrier frequency

The 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.

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.

China Mobile's Bid Invitation of the Third-Stage TD by Kate Chen / Telecommunications industry community The carrier frequency would normally be in the range of 300 - 600Hz, and a typical entrainment production carrier frequency would be 510 and 540, which would then produce a 30Hz subsonic following response. Science of Mind Power and Entrainment Techniques by Alvin Huang / Self Improvement community These parameters should be in digital form and in the proper engineering units: carrier frequency, input level, Eb/No, carrier frequency offset * Alarm status--Any alarm conditions should be reported to the NCC and indicate at least the following: output-level failure, failure of modem-control processor, loss of input level, power-supply voltage variations and unlocked synthesizer.
