Why we need to use carrier frequency?
[edit]"Carrier frequency" should be seperate from "carrier wave". Let me know what you think. I also did a re-edit to bring the definition in line with that of NIST and CFR47. Fernblatt 03:21, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
Give a wikilink to "center frequency" here
[edit]Mention center frequency here because there is a very nice Wikipedia article about it here!
Believe it or not, certain electromagnetic communication systems have a center frequency but NOT a carrier frequency. Consider AM-double sideband-suppressed carrier. The absence of a carrier frequency is also true for nearly all FM communication systems and nearly all digital radio & microwave communication systems. The latter operate at top efficiency when the carrier component is suppressed all the way, and we go to great lengths to make them so.

Disambiguation
[edit]It is problematic for this article to be a disambiguation page because the following restrictions apply to disambiguation pages:
- Only one outgoing wikilink is allowed per disambiguated topic. We have up to 6 here.
- In most cases, you're not allowed to link from articles to disambiguation pages. There are many opportunities to link here.
Here are some options for improving things.
- Ignore the Chromosome context for the term (carrier frequency does not appear in Chromosome) and convert this to a convention article.
- Ignore the Chromosome context for the term and merge this into Carrier signal and turn this into a redirect.
- Create Carrier frequency (radio) and move some of the content on this disambiguation page to that new article and link stuff to it.
Please let us know your thoughts below. ~Kvng (talk) 23:48, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- Removed DAB template. See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Disambiguation#Carrier_frequency. ~Kvng (talk) 23:29, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
- I added a bunch of radio-related incoming links and removed links related to the Genetic disorder. The article needs improvement but it is no longer a disambiguation and is no longer unclear what it is about. ~Kvng (talk) 15:15, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
Suggested content
[edit]We could also have content related to spectrum allocation. Also the use of carrier frequency in radio transmitters or receivers should be described. eg inserting a suppressed carrier for SSB reception. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:33, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
Merge with Carrier wave?
[edit]- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- The result of this discussion was to merge this article into Carrier wave --ChetvornoTALK 15:24, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
I think we definitely don't need both Carrier frequency and Carrier wave articles, they should be merged. There is only enough content for one article. I don't really care which is merged into which, but have a slight preference for Carrier wave. What do you think? --ChetvornoTALK 03:33, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
- Go for it. --Wtshymanski (talk) 02:33, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
- Support - Should merge to Carrier wave because that has more content and more extensive revision history. Can always be moved after the fact if someone comes up with a better idea. ~Kvng (talk) 14:39, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
- Support - Carrier frequency can easily be fitted into Carrier Wave, which has more information. Till now there is no need for a separated article. - ANKAN (talk) 06:13, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
- Should be merged. For now as it is these articles don't permit to non-specialists to really understand these physical systems, especially lateral bands etc.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChrRV (talk • contribs) 09:19, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
