- modulated continuous wave
- Definição1
- A type of radio code transmission in which the carrier wave is modulated with a continuous audio-frequency tone. Code is sent by transmitting the modulated carrier in short and long pulses, or bursts. The short pulses are called dots, and the long pulses are called dashes. Modulated continuous wave code differs from continuous wave (CW) code in that a beat-frequency oscillator is not needed in the receiver for MCW to be heard.
