U600 Mastergroup

32a shows how a U600 mastergroup is formed with a supergroup bank, and combining
network. Ten supergroups are combined to form a mastergroup. The frequency spectrum
for each supergroup is 312 kHz to 552 kHz. Each supergroup is mixed with a
different supergroup carrier frequency in a balanced modulator. The output is then
bandlimited the difference frequency band (LSB) to form a SSBSC signal.
10 supergroup carrier frequencies are listed in Table 9. For supergroup 13, a 312-
kHz to 552-kHz supergroup band of frequencies modulates a 1116-kHz carrier
frequency. Mathematically, the output a supergroup bandpass filter is f sub out is
equal to f sub s minus f sub s to f sub c, where fc is the supergroup carrier
frequency and fs is the supergroup frequency spectrum.
