Difference between Carrier wave and Tuner (radio)

Carrier wave vs. Tuner (radio)

In telecommunications, a carrier wave, carrier signal, or just carrier, is a periodic waveform (usually sinusoidal) that carries no information that has one or more of its properties modified (the called modulation) by an information-bearing signal (called the message signal or modulation signal) for the purpose of conveying information. A tuner is a subsystem that receives radio frequency (RF) transmissions, such as FM broadcasting, and converts the selected carrier frequency and its associated bandwidth into a fixed frequency that is suitable for further processing, usually because a lower frequency is used on the output.
