Modulation is where an electronic signal (base) is combined with another electronic signal (carrier).
The base could be audio, video or digital. The carrier is the frequency that a receiver (radio or television) is tuned to.
The modulated wave is the result of this combination.
A demodulator detects a modulated wave by separating the modulating signal from the carrier wave. This is done by reversing the modulation process applied to the carrier wave to extract the original signal that was modulated onto it. Different demodulation techniques are used depending on the modulation scheme employed.
A phase discriminator is a circuit or device used to compare the phase difference between two input signals. It is often used in communication systems to demodulate or recover the original signal from a modulated carrier wave by detecting the phase difference between the carrier wave and the modulated signal.
A modulated carrier wave is the output of a modulator that includes the information of the signal that is applied to the carrier.When a signal typically a piece of music in the range of say 30Hz to 30KHz is applied to an AM modulator (not sure about FM or PM) with a carrier of say 3MHz the output consists of 4 packetsUpper Sideband (Carrier + Signal) 3.000003MHz to 3.03MhzLower Sideband (Carrier - Signal) .297MHz to .299997MHzCarrier 3MHzSignal 30Hz to 30KHzEither sideband in the case of Single Side Band (SSB) or Both (.297MHz to 3.03Mhz) in the case of Double Side Band (DSB) could be referred to as modulated carrier waves
A chopped wave refers to a waveform that is modulated or manipulated to create brief on/off pulses, or "chunks" of the original wave. This technique is commonly used in power electronics to control the power delivered to a load, such as in pulse-width modulation (PWM) circuits.
A carrier wave is a waveform (usually sinusoidal) that is modulated with an input signal for the purpose of conveying information. Its purpose is usually either to transmit the information through space as an electromagnetic wave (as in radio communication), or to allow several carriers at different frequencies to share a common physical transmission medium by frequency division multiplexing.
A demodulator detects a modulated wave by separating the modulating signal from the carrier wave. This is done by reversing the modulation process applied to the carrier wave to extract the original signal that was modulated onto it. Different demodulation techniques are used depending on the modulation scheme employed.

Amplitude, Frequency and Phase
Modulation is a word applied to anything that varies in level. Brake pads are modulated in an anti lock braking system. The human voice can be modulated whilst singing to give a pleasing sound An audio signal can be superimposed upon a carrier wave in broadcasting. The carrier wave is amplitude modulated by the audio signal.
Carrier Wave: A carrier wave is a high-frequency electromagnetic wave that is used as the "carrier" or the base signal in a modulation process. It is typically a pure sine wave with a constant frequency and amplitude. The carrier wave by itself does not carry any information; it serves as a vehicle to carry the information from one location to another. In AM and FM radio broadcasting, the carrier wave is the primary signal transmitted by the radio station. Modulated Wave: A modulated wave is the result of combining the carrier wave with an information signal, such as an audio signal or data. Modulation is the process of varying the characteristics of the carrier wave (either its amplitude or frequency) in accordance with the information signal. There are two common types of modulation: Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Frequency Modulation (FM). In AM, the amplitude of the carrier wave is varied in proportion to the amplitude of the information signal. This variation encodes the information onto the carrier wave. In FM, the frequency of the carrier wave is varied in proportion to the amplitude of the information signal. This variation encodes the information onto the carrier wave. The modulated wave contains the information that needs to be transmitted, and it can be demodulated at the receiving end to retrieve the original information.
The signal from the microphone isn't modulated. The radio wave is modulatedwith the microphone signal. 'Modulation' just means the process of addinginformation to the bare radio wave.
In communications, a continuous frequency voltage or electromagnetic wave capable of being modulated or impressed with a second signal which carries the information to is transmitted.

In wifi, modulated signal is radio wave where as life modulated signal is light. It is visible electromagnetic spectrum and has higher bandwidth than wifi but has Line of sight limitation.
A: AM radio is an Amplitude Modulation transmission . Meaning it has fix frequency but it is modulated by the signal. FM Frequency Modulation the frequency is modulated by the signal
