SSB Modulation

2/12/2013



The two sidebands of an AM signal are mirror images of each other.



One of the sidebands is redundant



Using single-sideband suppressed-carrier transmission results in reduced bandwidth and therefore twice as many signals may be transmitted in the same spectrum allotment



Typically, a 3dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio is achieved as a result of SSBSC

2/12/2013



A filter removes the undesired sideband producing SSB.



Balanced modulators is used to suppress the unwanted carrier and filters to suppress the unwanted sidebands



Quartz crystal filters are the most widely used sideband filters since they are very selective and inexpensive.

Other BM receives 90° phase shifted message and in phase carrier signal.

• Both BM produce sidebands only. •

USB of both BMs will be in phase and LSB will be out of phase.



Adding the two DSB signals together results in one sideband being cancelled out.

Vestigial Side Band (VSB)  In the video signal, very low frequency modulating components exist along with rest of the signal  These components give rise to sidebands very close to the carrier frequency – difficult to remove by physically realizable filters  The low video frequencies contain the most important information of the picture  Complete suppression of the lower sideband would result in phase distortion at these frequencies  one complete sideband can not be fully suppressed  As a compromise only a part of the LSB is suppressed  Radiated signal consist of : Full USB + Carrier + Vestige of the partially suppressed LSB 2/12/2013
