+A **carrier wave** is a stable, oscillating [electromagnetic wave](/wiki/electromagnetic_wave) that forms the fundamental base for transmitting information. It is systematically modified, or [modulated](/wiki/modulation), to encode data or audio, allowing signals to travel efficiently through space.
