The receiver consists of two coherent detectors, the same input signal, namely, the
incoming DSB-SC wave Ac cos(2πfct) m(t) , but with individual local oscillator signals that
are in phase quadrature with respect to each other.
Assume that the frequency of the local oscillator is adjusted to be the same as the carrier
frequency fc.
The detector in the upper path is the in-phase coherent detector or I-channel, and that
in the lower path is the quadrature-phase coherent detector or Q-channel.
These two detectors are coupled together to form a negative feedback system designed
in such a way as to maintain the local oscillator synchronous with the carrier wave.

(ii) Costas Receiver
Costas Receiver operation
The local oscillator signal is of the same phase as the carrier wave Ac cos(2πfct)
used to generate the incoming DSB-SC wave.
Under these conditions, we find that the I-channel output contains the desired
demodulated signal m(t), whereas the (I-channel output is zero due to the
quadrature null effect of the Q-channel.
Next the local oscillator phase drifts by a small angle ɸ radians . The I-channel
output will remain essentially unchanged, but there will now be some signal
appearing at the (I-channel output, which is proportional to sin ɸ.
Why SSB?

Is it actually required?
In fact, due to the symmetry of the DSB signal about the carrier frequency, the same
information is transmitted in the upper and lower sidebands.
Hence only one of the sidebands needs to be transmitted. Bandwidth saving can be
achieved by suppressing one of the sidebands.
Disadvantage of SSB:
The SSB modulation complicates the receiver design to extract the modulating signal.
Practical difficulty in suppressing the unwanted sideband, since it lies close to the
wanted sideband.
