Amplitude modulation of a carrier results in a transmitted signal consisting of the carrier, plus an 'upper sideband' and a 'lower sideband', spaced above and below the carrier frequency by the frequency of the modulation.

The bandwidth of the whole signal is double the modulation frequency. Also, the power in the carrier is constant, and power must be added in order to radiate the sidebands.

All the receiver needs in order to extract the information from the signal is one complete sideband, and knowledge of the frequency and phase of the carrier. Economically speaking, the carrier is wasted power, and the other sideband is wasted power andwasted spectrum.

If you can filter away one of the sidebands before transmission, then you save half of the occupied spectrum, and the receiver has everything it needs to decode the signal. If you can also filter away the carrier ... or at least knock it way down ... before transmission, you can save a lot of power and use it for the remaining sideband, which extends your range for a given amount of power. The receiver still has everything it needs, as long as it can pick up a sniff of carrier ... enough to derive the carrier frequency and phase.

This mode is known as "Single Sideband Suppressed Carrier". It's exactly how the video portion of standard NTSC analog TV was transmitted, throughout all of human history until June 2009.

Simplicity in the detector/demodulator. The Signal can be extracted from the tuned RF/IF with only a diode/capacitor/resistor set. One of the simpler crystal radios, which can still be used with this modulation scheme, only had four parts.

These are both types of AM(amplitude) modulation. Amplitude modulation involves mixing the information signal you want to transmit with an RF carrier signal. This normally results in 3 signals being generated: (1)The original carrier signal (2)The sum of the carrier and the information signal frequency (3)The carrier signal frequency minus the information signal frequency. Single side band modulation involves post-processing these components to leave just (2) OR (3) Double sideband modulation always leaves components (2) AND (3) and might remove component (1) fully or partially depending on the modulation type:

Which modulation scheme requires the least minimum bandwidth?

Suppressed carrier single sideband amplitude modulation - SCSSBAM.


What is meant by single side band modulation?

Single side band suppressed carrier modulation is like amplitude modulation except that one of the sidebands is suppressed or filtered out. Each sideband carries the same though opposite, information, so suppressing the one sideband allows more power to be placed into the one remaining sideband. The downside, of course, is that the demodulation process is more complex.

What difference between amplitude modulation and double sideband suppressed carrier?

Both are forms of AM but in suppressed carrier a filter is used to attenuate the carrier frequency prior to transmission. This is usually done to reduce the total transmitter power consumption. An ordinary AM radio cannot correctly receive suppressed carrier stations, you must have a receiver that replaces the carrier prior to the detector stage.


When you do modulation in time domain you get modulated waveform of modulating signal information and carrier. How can you recognize the upper and lower side bands in time domain modulated waveform?

You need modulation signal(carrier) which is a required signal in order to make envelope of time domained signal(target signal). The modulating signal is imposed on modulation signal.This creates envelope of waveform which is modulated(desired) signal. Now, the desired signals uper and lower sideband of signal strictly depends on modulation signal's bandwidth. Max. peak of that signal is uper sideband and min. peak is lower sideband for this modulated signal.

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)

How does double sideband differ from standard AM?

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.

Why is the single sideband suppressed carrier version of amplitude modulation is not used for the sound broadcasting and television broadcasting?

A single sideband receiver have a BFO (Beat Frequency Isolator) that is generating the other half side of the original audio. The BFO is hand tuned to clarify the audio to, as close as possible to the original sound. An automatic clarifier is not really possible therefore music and voices never sound the same as the original.


Is it possible to suppress both side bands without affecting information?

No. You need at least one sideband in order to carry any information. You can suppress the carrier, one sideband, or the carrier and one sideband, but you would be left with only the carrier if you suppressed both sidebands.

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.


The relationship of the bandwidth required for double-sideband emitted carrier AM to the bandwidth of the modulating signal of?

In Amplitude Modulation (AM), specifically in the case of Double Sideband Suppressed Carrier (DSB-SC) or Full Carrier (DSB-FC) AM, the required bandwidth is twice the bandwidth of the modulating signal. If the modulating signal has a bandwidth of B Hz, the bandwidth required for AM would be 2B Hz. This is because both the upper and lower sidebands of the carrier wave are utilized in the modulation process, each consuming bandwidth equivalent to the original signal.
