Carrier power is the power that comes out of a transmitter and goes to the transmitting

antenna at the moment when no information is being added to the transmission ... no

music, voice, sound, picture, data, noise, hum, no nothing. Only what they call a "bare

carrier".

There are different methods of adding information to the carrier, called "modulation".

Some of them change the instantaneous power of the transmitter, others don't.

Examples: AM rapidly varies the transmitter power. Properly adjusted FM doesn't.

What is a carrier and how does it affect what you hear on the radio?

A carrier is a high-frequency signal that carries information on a radio wave. The carrier frequency is modulated to encode audio signals, which are then transmitted and decoded by the radio receiver to produce sound. The carrier frequency determines the station you're tuning into on the radio.


Why do you need a carrier wave?

In radio transmission, you could theoretically transmit radio signals at audio frequencies. However, because the wavelength of electromagnetism at audio-like frequencies is Huge and the frequency of a radio transmitter dictates the size of the antenna and the power requirement, you would need A Very Big Antenna and a Very Big Power Supply to do this. So, we've learned to transmit at higher "carrier" frequencies, modulating either the amplitude or frequency of the carrier signal with our audio and subtracting the carrier at the receiver end.


Relation between total power and carrier power?

Total power is the summation of the carrier power and any additional sidebands or noise present in the signal. Therefore, the carrier power contributes to the total power but is not the sole component. The carrier power represents the power contained in the main signal frequency.

What does a radio wave transform radio waves into?

Sound.More informationAfter a modulated carrier signal has been received through the radio's aerial, the radio de-modulates it to release the live sound as picked-up from microphones in the radio studio (or was taken from recordings), which was then used to modulate the carrier signal at the transmitter.De-modulation that is done by a radio receiver can be described very simply as "removing the carrier signal to produce the sound".


What difference between amplitude modulation and double sideband suppressed carrier?

Both are forms of AM but in suppressed carrier a filter is used to attenuate the carrier frequency prior to transmission. This is usually done to reduce the total transmitter power consumption. An ordinary AM radio cannot correctly receive suppressed carrier stations, you must have a receiver that replaces the carrier prior to the detector stage.
