Editing Signal transition

'''Signal transition''', when referring to the [[modulation]] of a [[carrier signal]], is a change from one [[significant condition]] to another. 

Examples of signal transitions are a change from one electric current, voltage, or [[Power (physics)|power]] level to another; a change from one optical power level to another; a [[Phase (waves)|phase shift]]; or a change from one [[frequency]] or [[wavelength]] to another. 

Signal transitions are used to create signals that represent [[information]], such as "0" and "1" or "[[mark frequency|mark]]" and "[[space frequency|space]]".
