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).
The change in frequency, which is greatly exaggerated here, is proportional to the amplitude of the signal. An FM radio carrier around 100 MHz is limited to modulation of +/- 0.1 MHz. Normal FM stereo broadcast is within +/- .053 MHz.
