How does double sideband differ from standard AM?

Best Answer

Standard AM already has double sideband. When you talk about double sideband, however, often the meaning is usually "double sideband, suppressed carrier". By suppressing the carrier, you can impute more power into the sidebands, because you are not providing power to the carrier, which accounts for a significant percentage of the total power. Since the sidebands actually contain the signal, you can boost the signal to noise ratio by suppressing the carrier. This comes at a cost, however, in complexity, because you need to regenerate the carrier in order to demodulate the signal.

In fact, many systems use single sideband, suppressed carrier, doubling the available power to the sideband containing the signal over double sideband suppressed carrier. This works, again at the cost of receiver and transmitter complexity, because the two sidebands contain the same information.

How does single sideband differ from standard AM?

Single Sideband is effectively the same as standard AM, except that the carrier and one of the two sidebands is suppressed. This allows you to put more power into the information carrying part of the signal, at the complexity of having additional circuitry on both ends to modulate and demodulate.


How do you calculate frequency range of double side band modulated signal?

Upper sideband = Carrier frequency + modulating frequencyLower sideband = Carrier frequency - modulating frequency


What is bandwidth required for AM signal?

With full double sideband AM the bandwidth of the modulated signal is twice that of the baseband information signal. With suppressed carrier single sideband AM the bandwidth of the modulated signal is identical to that of the baseband information signal. With vestigial sideband AM the bandwidth of the modulated signal is somewhere between the above two cases, depending on how much of the vestigial sideband is included.

What is analog modulation?

Analog modulationIn analog modulation, the modulation is applied continuously in response to the analog information signal.Common analog modulation techniques are:Amplitude modulation (AM) (here the amplitude of the modulated signal is varied) Double-sideband modulation (DSB) Double-sideband modulation with unsuppressed carrier (DSB-WC) (used on the AM radio broadcasting band)Double-sideband suppressed-carrier transmission (DSB-SC)Double-sideband reduced carrier transmission (DSB-RC)Single-sideband modulation (SSB, or SSB-AM), SSB with carrier (SSB-WC)SSB suppressed carrier modulation (SSB-SC)Vestigial sideband modulation (VSB, or VSB-AM)Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM)Angle modulation Frequency modulation (FM) (here the frequency of the modulated signal is varied)Phase modulation (PM) (here the phase shift of the modulated signal is varied)

What causes sideband frequency?

If you subtract from the carrier frequency the frequency of the tone that modulates it, then filter out the carrier frequency, then you have a lower sideband frequency. If you add to the carrier frequency, filter out the carrier, then you have an upper sideband frequency.


How single sideband is being generated?

In regards to the radio transmission mode, SSB is an improvement of AM, and there are generally three ways single sideband can be generated -- filtering out the unwanted sideband and suppressing the carrier; using phasing to suppress the unwanted sideband and carrier (Hartley modulator); or quadrature mixing and filtering (Weaver modulator).


What is mean by full carrier?

At this point we're talking about amplitude modulation. If you're transmitting with "29.000" MHz displaying on your radio's frequency display and your bandwidth is set to 4 kHz, you are transmitting useful intelligence from 28.996MHz to 29.004MHz--4KHz on each side of the carrier--in "full carrier" or "double sideband" mode. You wouldn't actually transmit this for a couple of reasons. The most important reason is that using filters in your radio to remove either the signal below 29MHz (called "upper sideband" or USB operation) or the signal above it (called "lower sideband" or LSB) allows another operator to use the piece of spectrum you relinquished. The other advantage is SSB makes more efficient use of your amplifier, so you can talk to people farther away from you and they can hear you better. So..."full carrier" means double sideband, and then there's single sideband.


Why is use only one sideband for the transmission of the information?

Single sideband suppressed carrier is a transmission mode that maximizes the amount of energy that the carrier uses with which to send information. In normal double sideband non-suppressed, which is standard AM broadcast style, the carrier transmits no information, and the two sidebands transmit redundant information. Suppressing the carrier is one way to put more energy into the signal. Suppressing one of the sidebands is a second stage way to do this as well. Of course, this comes with operational complexity. The receiver is more complex, but you do gain more distance because more power goes into the signal, i.e. there is no carrier and there is no redundancy.


How do you generate double-sideband suppressed carrier?

it can be genrated by multipling of the carrie signal and the message signal that varies the amplitud of the carrire nd supprssd the caarir signal.
