Continuous Wave Signals

Continuous wave (CW) signals are a type of radio wave that maintain a steady, unchanging transmission over time, unlike pulsed signals that send out bursts. They are characterized by a constant frequency and amplitude, allowing for consistent communication or measurement. CW signals are often used in radio communication, radar systems, and scientific measurements because they provide a clear, stable tone that can be easily detected and analyzed. This steady nature makes it easier to determine the presence, distance, or speed of objects, as the signal’s consistency helps distinguish it from background noise.
