Carrier

A sine wave which may be modulated by a signal to form an AM signal. The frequency of the carrier must be significantly higher than that of the modulating signal. In practice, the carrier is usually a radio frequency sine wave, and so is two orders of magnitude higher in frequency than the signal.
