	'''Carrier Frequency''' : The centre frequency of a radio signal.		'''Carrier Frequency''' : The centre frequency of a radio signal.

			'''Carrier Power''' : The average power supplied to the antenna when no modulation is taking place.

	'''[[What is a cavity filter?\|Cavity filter]]''' : A very narrow RF filter used to pass one single frequency, common in repeater operations where the receiver must be protected from overload by a transmitter on the same band on the same antenna tower.
