Directory Reference Wikipedia continuous wave
A continuous wave or continuous waveform (CW) is an electromagnetic
wave of constant amplitude and frequency; and in mathematical analysis,
of infinite duration.
Thus, a continuous wave is incapable of conveying
any information.
Um, not quite:-) The very presence of the CW signal conveys SOME
information (e.q. the fact that something is out there generating it:-)
It's the turning on and off of the wave that conveys most of the USEFUL
information:-) Which makes CW communication a DIGITAL mode, by the way.
