	Encyclopedia article: Continuous wave (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Continuous wave is also the name given to an early method of radio (A communication system based on broadcasting electromagnetic waves) transmission (Communication by means of transmitted signals), in which a carrier wave (A radio wave that can be modulated in order to transmit a signal) is switched on and off.
		Strictly speaking, a keyed carrier may be referred to as "ICW" for "Interrupted continuous wave" but the necessity of keying is usually understood.
		CW is the basis of the continuous-wave radar (additional info and facts about continuous-wave radar) system, where a continuous wave is transmitted by one aerial (An electrical device that sends or receives radio or television signals) while a second aerial receives the reflected radio (A communication system based on broadcasting electromagnetic waves) energy.

	Continuous wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A continuous wave (CW) (or Continous Waveform) is an electromagnetic wave of constant amplitude and frequency; and in mathematical analysis, of infinite duration.
		Continuous wave is also the name given to an early method of radio transmission, in which a carrier wave is switched on and off.
		This mode is still in common use by amateur radio operators due to its simplicity and reliability CW is the basis of the continuous-wave radar system, where a continuous wave is transmitted by one aerial while a second aerial receives the reflected radio energy.

		shock wave, wave formed of a zone of extremely high pressure within a fluid, especially the atmosphere, that propagates through the fluid at a speed in excess of the speed of sound.
		A shock wave is caused by the sudden, violent disturbance of a fluid, such as that created by a powerful explosion or by the supersonic flow of the fluid over a solid object.
		Continuous shock waves, such as those produced by supersonic aircraft, are of particular concern as they tend to recur along regular routes.

		The acoustic energy generator continuously produces acoustic energy to be non-invasively applied to the injection mold and polymer as it is delivered into the mold.
		Continuous waves, on the other hand, are much less complex to generate in hardware and to observe as compared to pulsed ultrasound waves.
		This allowed the ultrasonic wave from the ultrasonic crystal to be transmitted normal to the cavity surface striking centered on the mold cavity near an endgate of an endgated tensile specimen mold.

	Continuous wave - Computing Reference - eLook.org
		A spark gap initiates a ringing, damped sinusoidal wave in a tuned circuit consisting of an inductor and capacitor.
		In contrast, a vacuum-tube oscillator constantly adds energy to the tuned circuit, compensating for the amount coupled to the antenna, and the transmitted energy or "wave," is therefore "continuous".
		Many (especially radio amateurs) continue to understand "CW" to mean transmission by means a signal of a single frequency which is either on or off (e.g.

		Continuous wave is also the name given to an early method of radio transmission, in which an unmodulated carrier wave is switched on and off.
		Unlike modulated modes, there is no information (in the communications sense) embedded within the signal; rather, information is carried in the rhythm and spacing with which the signal is sent.
		CW is the basis of the continuous-wave radar system, where a continuous wave is transmitted by one aerial while a second aerial receives the reflected radio energy.

	Continuous Wave Transmission by Amateurs (1922)
		The advantages of continuous wave transmission, especially its economy and greater flexibility as compared to spark transmission, made its general use by amateurs highly desirable.
		The antenna current on this wave length being two amperes, it was found entirely possible to work 100 miles in daylight on this wave length without trouble with that amount of current in the antenna.
		When the transmitter was adjusted to a wave length of 175 meters it was found, in at least three instances, that the receiving operators had to adjust their secondary circuit variometers at zero in order to hear the signals.

	Continuous-wave Nd:Yag laser hyperthermia: a successful modality in treatment of basal cell carcinoma
		The aim of the present study was to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of continuous wave Nd:Yag laser-induced hyperthermia in treatment of basal cell carcinoma (BCC).
		Continuous wave Nd:Yag laser-induced hyperthermia should be considered as an alternative treatment for BCC.
		Treatment by continuous-wave Nd:YAG laser hyperthermia in 37 patients with BCC who were followed clinically and histopathologically for 5 years revealed complete disappearance of the lesion in 36 patients (97 %) and a recurrence in one patient (3 %).Treatment by radiation and by topical 5-fluorouracil achieved 9-percent and 80-percent cure rates, respectively [13, 14].

	Discretizing the wave equation
		Discrete wave models can be studied to understand their intrinsic properties and not just how they can be used to model a continuous reality that may not exist.
		The equation says the rate at which the level is accelerating in time at a give point is proportional to the sum of the rates at which the level is accelerating across each dimension in space at that point.
		The wave equation is the universal equation of physics.

	Continuous Wave Receivers
		If a receiving antenna and associated receiver circuits containing a simple rectifier are tuned to a continuous wave transmitter, the receiving telephone will be transversed by a uni-directional current and therefore the telephone emits no sound.
		But if by local means we cause the amplitude of these to fluctuate periodically at an audio frequency sound will be produced because the telephone diaphragm will be deflected at rates varying as the periodic fluctuations of the rectified current.
		These oscillations interacting with the oscillations of the incoming signal produce beats in the detector circuits which in turn are detected by the valve.

	Continuous Wave Radar
		The Doppler shift is a change in the frequency of the electromagnetic wave caused by motion of the transmitter, target or both.
		However, they are not suitable for long range detection, because the continuous power level they transmit at must be considerably lower than the peak power of a pulsed system.
		For a continuous wave system, the duty cycle is one, or alternatively, the peak power is the same as the average power.

		Your perfect half-cycle of a sine wave, with infinite precision, can never exist in nature; and thus we shouldn't be worried about not being able to sample it.
		In digital, we could indeed create a "bump wave" you describe by copying and repeatedly pasting the positive section of a sine wave.
		Individual samples should always be thought of as being part of a continuous wave.

	Liti Holographics - 3D holograms for a 3D world
		Holographers use two kinds of lasers to produce holograms: the continuous wave laser and the pulsed laser.
		The continuous wave laser emits a steady stream of laser light, whereas the pulsed laser emits laser light in bursts.
		Because it is absolutely critical that there is no motion at all, subjects that are holographed with continuous wave lasers must be ‘dead' or immobile objects that can be bolted or glued to the optical table surface.

		The theoretic principles behind the laser were developed as early as 1917, when Einstein laid the groundwork for stimulated emission in his treatise "On the Quantum Theory of Radiation." In 1955, Gordon produced the maser, the microwave predecessor of the laser.
		This energy is in the form of an intense beam of monochromatic (same wavelength), collimated (parallel, nondiverging), and coherent (same direction) light (see Image 4).
		A CW laser is generated by continuously pumping energy into the active medium to achieve an equilibrium between the number of atoms raised to the excited state and the number of photons emitted.
