CW (Continuous Wave)

What does CW mean?

In electronic measurement and test engineering, the abbreviation CW usually stands for Continuous Wave.

A Continuous Wave signal is a sinusoidal signal with a constant frequency and amplitude, which —unlike pulsed signals (PW = Pulsed Wave)— is transmitted or measured without any interruption. In measurement technology, CW is commonly used with spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and RF measurements when a pure carrier needs to be generated or analyzed with maximum accuracy and reproducibility for reliable results.
Typical applications include: Radar (CW radar vs. pulsed radar), Signal generators Power amplifier testing, Calibration tasks and more.
