What Does CW Stand For?
CW stands for Continuous Wave
CW, or Continuous Wave, refers to a type of electromagnetic wave that maintains a constant amplitude and frequency over time. It is commonly used in various communication technologies, including radio transmissions and radar systems, to convey information by modulating the wave's properties. In the context of electronics and telecommunications, CW signals are crucial for applications such as stable frequency generation and coherent optical communications.
