The process of extracting an original message signal from SSBSC wave is known as
detection or demodulation of SSBSC. Coherent detector is used for demodulating
SSBSC wave.
Coherent Detector
Here, the same carrier signal (which is used for generating SSBSC wave) is used to
detect the message signal. Hence, this process of detection is called as coherent or
synchronous detection. Following is the block diagram of coherent detector.
In this process, the message signal can be extracted from SSBSC wave by
multiplying it with a carrier, having the same frequency and the phase of the carrier
used in SSBSC modulation. The resulting signal is then passed through a Low Pass
Filter. The output of this filter is the desired message signal.

In the above equation, the first term is the scaled version of the message signal. It
can be extracted by passing the above signal through a low pass filter.

We can use the same block diagram for demodulating SSBSC wave having an upper
sideband. Consider the following SSBSC wave having an upper sideband.
Am Ac
s (t) = cos[2π (fc + fm ) t]

c (t) = Ac cos(2πfc t)

⇒ v (t) = cos[2π (fc + fm ) t]Ac cos(2πfc t)

Therefore, we get the same demodulated output in both the cases by using coherent
detector.
