Continuous Wave (CW)

Continuous Wave (CW) refers to a type of radio transmission where a steady, unvarying signal is sent constantly without interruption. Unlike pulsed signals that turn on and off rapidly, CW maintains a continuous carrier wave, which can be modulated to encode information, such as Morse code. This method is efficient for long-distance communication because it allows the receiver to easily pick up and decode the signal. CW is commonly used in radio and radar systems, providing a reliable and straightforward way to transmit information over vast distances with minimal distortion.
