carrier phase
[/ˈkæriər feɪz/]
nounpl: carrier phases
fase da portadora
1. The phase angle of a radio frequency or electromagnetic carrier wave, used in telecommunications and signal processing to modulate information onto a signal
The GPS receiver tracks the carrier phase to achieve high-precision positioning.
O receptor GPS rastreia a fase da portadora para alcançar posicionamento de alta precisão.
2. In communications engineering, the instantaneous phase of a sinusoidal carrier wave relative to a reference point, essential for signal demodulation and error detection
Carrier phase ambiguity must be resolved for accurate differential GPS measurements.
A ambiguidade da fase da portadora deve ser resolvida para medições de GPS diferenciais precisas.
3. The phase component of a modulated signal that can be used to extract the original information from the transmitted wave
Advanced modulation techniques utilize carrier phase information to improve spectral efficiency.
Técnicas avançadas de modulação utilizam informações de fase da portadora para melhorar a eficiência espectral.
This is a specialized technical term primarily used in telecommunications, GPS technology, and signal processing fields. It is used similarly in both Brazil and the United States within academic and professional engineering contexts, with no significant cultural variation in usage.
