Full-Carrier Single
SSBFC Waveform
Sideband
AM Single-Sideband Suppressed
Carrier(SSSC)
- a form of amplitude modulation in which the
carrier is totally suppressed and one of the
sidebands removed.
- Exalted Carrier
Reduced-Carrier Single Sideband
AM Independent Sideband (ISB)
- a form of amplitude modulation in which a
single carrier frequency is independently
modulated by two different modulating signals
- a form of double-sideband transmission in
which the transmitter consists of two independent
single-sideband suppressed carrier modulators
Independent Sideband
ISB Waveform
AM Vestigial Sideband (VSB)
- a form of amplitude modulation in which the
carrier and one complete sideband are
transmitted, but only part of the second sideband
is transmitted.
Vestigial Sideband
Comparison of Single-Sideband Transmission
to Conventional AM
Peak Envelope Power (PEP)
- the rms power developed at the
crest of the modulation envelope
Advantages:
Power Conservation
Bandwidth Conservation
Selective Fading
Noise Reduction
Disadvantages:
Complex Receivers
Tuning Difficulties
Conventional AM vs
Single Sideband
Example:
For a 500W carrier modulated to a depth
of 80%, find the total power in each of the
following forms of AM: (a) A3E (b) J3E (c)
H3E (d) DSB.
Recall:
Forms of Amplitude Modulation
A3E – Double Sideband Full Carrier
H3E – Single Sideband Full Carrier
B8E – Independent Sideband
J3E – Single Sideband Suppressed Carrier
R3E – Single Sideband Reduced Carrier
C3F – Vestigial Sideband

Balanced Bridge Modulator
- operation is completely dependent on the
switching action of the diodes D1 through D4
under the influence of the carrier and modulating
signal voltages
- carrier voltage controls the on and off
conditions of the diodes
