In telecommunications, a carrier signal, carrier wave, or just carrier, is a waveform (usually sinusoidal) that is modulated (modified) with an input signal for the purpose of conveying information.This carrier wave is usually a much higher frequency than the input signal.n the case of single-sideband modulation (SSB), the carrier is suppressed (and in some forms of SSB, eliminated). The carrier must be reintroduced at the receiver by a beat frequency oscillator (BFO).
Carrier frequency is a technical term used to indicate: 1  In telecommunication systems. 2  Vaguely speaking, the center frequency or the frequency of a carrier wave (radio wave). In very technical language: The nominal frequency or center frequency of various kinds of radio signals with digital modulation -- provided that the message bit stream is a random uncorrelated sequence of equally probable ones and zeroes (marks and spaces).
