DSB-SC is basically an amplitude modulation wave without the carrier, therefore reducing power waste, giving it a 50% efficiency. This is an increase compared to normal AM transmission (DSB) that has a maximum efficiency of 33.333%, since 2/3 of the power is in the carrier which conveys no useful information and both sidebands containing identical copies of the same information.
An alternate method of generation known as a Hartley modulator, named after R. V. L. Hartley, uses phasing to suppress the unwanted sideband. To generate an SSB signal with this method, two versions of the original signal are generated, mutually 90° out of phase for any single frequency within the operating bandwidth.
In the Armstrong method, the audio signal and the radio frequency carrier signal are applied to the balanced modulator to generate a double sideband suppressed carrier signal. The phase of this output signal is then shifted 90 degrees with respect to the original carrier. The balanced modulator output can either lead or lag the carrier's phase.
Amplitude modulation (AM) is a modulation technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for transmitting messages with a radio wave.In amplitude modulation, the amplitude (signal strength) of the wave is varied in proportion to that of the message signal, such as an audio signal.
Double-sideband reduced carrier transmission (DSB-RC): transmission in which (a) the frequencies produced by amplitude modulation are symmetrically spaced above and below the carrier and (b) the carrier level is reduced for transmission at a fixed level below that which is provided to the modulator. Note: In DSB-RC transmission, the carrier is ...
Demodulation is the process of extracting the original information-bearing signal from a carrier wave.A demodulator is an electronic circuit (or computer program in a software-defined radio) that is used to recover the information content from the modulated carrier wave. [1]
The power of an AM radio signal plotted against frequency. fc is the carrier frequency, fm is the maximum modulation frequency. In radio communications, a sideband is a band of frequencies higher than or lower than the carrier frequency, that are the result of the modulation process.
Also, the figure isn't DSB-SC, where the output goes to zero when either the carrier or input goes to zero. That is, a four quadrant multiplier. And DSC-SC is often used with the modulation frequency close to the carrier frequency, specifically with the almost 19kHz audio and 38kHz subcarrier for FM stereo.
