OBS

A continuous carrier signal may be amplitude, phase or frequency modulated.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Émission et réception radio
  • Radar, radioguidage et radiogoniométrie
DEF

Signal dans lequel la transmission de la porteuse est continue et non émise par intermittence.

OBS

Un signal à porteuse continue peut-être modulé en amplitude, en phase ou en fréquence.

Record 2 2003-02-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Telegraphic Networks and Operations
  • Telecommunications Transmission
  • Radio Waves
CONT

This modulated wave is used to modulate the higher frequency carrier wave of the radio circuit, which may employ any system of modulation, e. g. amplitude or frequency modulation.
