multiplication of a USB signal (Fig. 4. 13c) by cos ct shifts its spectrum to the
left and right by c , yielding the spectrum in Fig. 4. 13e. Low-pass filtering of
this signal yields the desired baseband signal. The case is similar with LSB
signals. Since the demodulation of SSB signals is identical to that of DSB-SC
signals, the transmitters can now utilize only half the DSB-SC signal bandwidth
without any additional cost to the receivers. Since no additional carrier
accompanies the modulated SSB signal, the resulting modulator outputs are
known as suppressed carrier signals (SSB-SC)

SSB: Time Domain Representation
A general SSB signal SSB(t) can be expressed as
where the minus sign applies to USB and the plus sign applies to LSB and

Thus, a Hilbert transformer is an ideal phase shifter that shifts the phase of every
spectral component by -π/2. Note that an ideal Hilbert phase shifter is unrealizable.

The carrier frequency is 20 kHz. Baseband signal bandwidth is 6 kHz. H i(f) is
shown if fig (a). Determine H0(f) required for distortionless reception.

VSB Application: Broadcast Television
Video signal:
large bandwidth (4.5 MHz) – DSB requires 9 MHz
contains significant low-frequency component – SSB is not feasible
The demodulation of the TV signal must be simple and cost effective – envelope detector is
preferred
So, VSB modulation with the carrier is chosen for TV broadcast
