What is Carrier Signal


A signal which is modulated in frequency, amplitude, or phase, in order for it to carry information. 

A frequency in a communications channel modulated to carry analog or digital signal information. 

For example, an FM radio transmitter modulates the frequency of a carrier signal and the receiver processes the carrier signal to extract the analog information.
 An AM radio transmitter modulates the amplitude of a carrier signal.
