Tech/Engineering - Telecom(munications) / radio frequency idenfitication
German term or phrase: Hilfsträger
This term appears in an article discussing radio frequency identification. Here's the sentence it appears in:
Zur sichereren Auswertung erzeugt die Karte daher einen Hilfsträger mit der Frequenz von 847 kHz um die Frequenz der Leseantenne und moduliert ihm die Daten auf.
If anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful.

subcarrier
Explanation:
According to Eurodicautom, this is

a carrier which is applied as a modulating wave to modulate another carrier

So the read antenna is set to say, 900 MHz and then this subcarrier modulates the signal around 900 MHz
