A carrier frequency is a single radio frequency with steady amplitude.
Alone, it would sound like silence on a receiver.
This is the frequency that a radio receiver is tuned into.
To be of use in communication, this carrier wave has to be changed in time with another signal (usually audio), called 'Modulation'
It can be turned on and off using a Morse key.
It can be changed by shifting the frequency, FM.
It can be changed by varying the amplitude, AM.
It can be changed by adding or subtracting audio to the carrier. Single Side Band.
It can have data applied by shifting between two carrier frequencies. FSK. (Frequency shift keying.)
It's called a carrier, because it is the carrier of information without necessarily being the information itself.

Is it true that information can be carried on a carrier wave by changing or modulating either the amplitude or frequency?
in frequency modulation, frequency of carrier signal changes. so frequency variations of carrier convey all the information in frequency modulation.
How do you choose carrier frequency value?
typically the carrier frequency has to be at least double the signal frequency but in order to get better results you want to choose a frequency that is at least 5 times the highest frequency you are designing for.
What is the use of pilot carrier in ssb?
to make available carrier frequency at the receiver
What is use of color burst signal?
for colour sub carrier frequency
What is changing the height of the carrier wave to match the signal called?
It is called "frequency modulation"
What causes sideband frequency?
If you subtract from the carrier frequency the frequency of the tone that modulates it, then filter out the carrier frequency, then you have a lower sideband frequency. If you add to the carrier frequency, filter out the carrier, then you have an upper sideband frequency.
What are three frequency components of an am wave?
The three frequency components of an amplitude modulation (AM) wave are the carrier frequency, the upper sideband frequency (carrier frequency + modulating frequency), and the lower sideband frequency (carrier frequency - modulating frequency). These components are responsible for carrying the signal information in an AM wave.
Is it true that information can be carried on a carrier wave by changing or modulating either the amplitude or frequency?
in frequency modulation, frequency of carrier signal changes. so frequency variations of carrier convey all the information in frequency modulation.
Why Need for carrier frequency stability?
Explain the need for carrier frequency stability in radio transmitters?
What is the bandwidth of pulse position modulation?
probably (the carrier frequency +- the maximum frequency of the pulse train)/(the carrier frequency) but pulses have a lot of harmonics
How do you calculate frequency range of double side band modulated signal?
Upper sideband = Carrier frequency + modulating frequencyLower sideband = Carrier frequency - modulating frequency
What is side frequency?
The Carrier....
What are the parameters of high frequency carrier that may be varied by a lower frequency intelligence?
Following are the 3 parameter by which high Frequency carrier can be varied by low frequency intelligence signal 1) Amplitude 2) Phase 3) Frequency
How do you choose carrier frequency value?
typically the carrier frequency has to be at least double the signal frequency but in order to get better results you want to choose a frequency that is at least 5 times the highest frequency you are designing for.
Why AM is high frequency in communication why not low frequency?
A.m. can be applied to a carrier of any frequency.
What is a carrier and how does it affect what you hear on the radio?
A carrier is a high-frequency signal that carries information on a radio wave. The carrier frequency is modulated to encode audio signals, which are then transmitted and decoded by the radio receiver to produce sound. The carrier frequency determines the station you're tuning into on the radio.
Is The carrier frequency is usually lower than the modulating frequency?
when the frequency is low , energy will be obviously low. To increase the energy of the signal we need to increase the frequency. This is achieved by multiplying the message signal with the carrier signal (with high frequency).
