Double Side Band Suppressed Carrier

DSB-SC is a type of amplitude modulation where the carrier frequency is suppressed to its lowest practical level. It is a special case of DSB with reduced carrier transmission where the sidebands are spaced symmetrically above and below the carrier frequency and most of the power is distributed to the sidebands rather than the carrier, improving efficiency compared to standard AM. DSB-SC is used for radio data systems because it is difficult to decouple the signal from the carrier.

Transmission in which frequencies produced by amplitude

modulation are symmetrically spaced above and below


the carrier frequency and the carrier level is reduced to the
lowest practical level, ideally completely suppressed.

The wave carrier is not transmitted but a great percentage


of power that is dedicated to it is distributed between the
sidebands, which implies an increase of the cover in DSBSC, compared to AM, for the same power used.

DSB-SC transmission is a special case of Double-sideband


reduced carrier transmission.

This is used for RDS (Radio Data System) because it is


difficult to decouple.

An amplitude modulation wave without the carrier


Therefore reducing power wastage, giving it a 100%
efficiency rate.
The increasing compared to normal AM transmission,
which has a maximum efficiency of 50%
Efficeincy,E = (Sideband Power)/(Sideband Power +
Carrier Power).

This is a message signal that one may wish to modulate


onto a carrier, consisting of a couple of sinusoidal
components.
The equation for this message signal is

The carrier, in this case, is a plain 5 kHz () sinusoid

Name "suppressed carrier" comes about because the


carrier signal component is suppressedit does not appear
(theoretically) in the output signal.

This is apparent when the spectra of the output signal is
