The signal consists of not a single frequency, but a group of closely-spaced frequencies, centered near the carrier frequency 0.

Example
Example from Wikipedia (view in full-screen mode with pptx)
Frequency dispersion in groups of gravity waves on the surface of deep water. The red dot moves with the phase velocity, and the green dots propagate with the group velocity. In this deep-water case, the phase velocity is twice the group velocity. The red dot overtakes two green dots when moving from the left to the right of the figure.
New waves seem to emerge at the back of a wave group, grow in amplitude until they are at the center of the group, and vanish at the wave group front.
For surface gravity waves, the water particle velocities are much smaller than the phase velocity, in most cases.

Notes on Group Velocity
In many cases, the group velocity represents the velocity of information flow (the velocity of the baseband signal).
This is true when the dispersion is sufficiently small over the frequency spectrum of the signal, and the group velocity is less than the speed of light.
Example: a narrow-band signal propagating in a rectangular waveguide.
In some cases the group velocity exceeds the speed of light. In such cases, the waveform always distorts sufficiently as it propagates so that the signal never arrives fast than light.
![Page 35: Prof. David R. Jackson Dept. of ECE Fall 2013 Notes 8 ECE 6340 Intermediate EM Waves 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f285503460f94c408a1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Note: Loss on a TL causes dispersion and it also causes the attenuation to be frequency dependent.
(The phase velocity is frequency independent.)

Backward Wave
Definition of backward wave: 0g pv v
The group velocity has the opposite sign as the phase velocity.
This type of wave will never exist on a TEM transmission line filled with usual dielectric materials, but may exist on a periodic artificial transmission line.
Note: Do not confuse “backward wave" with "a wave traveling in the backward direction."
