Double Side Banda

Double-sideband suppressed-carrier (DSB-SC) transmission involves amplitude modulation where the carrier frequency is reduced to the lowest level and ideally completely suppressed. This increases the efficiency over normal AM transmission from 33.33% to 100% by distributing the power dedicated to the carrier between the sidebands. DSB-SC transmission is generated by mixing an audio source with a carrier frequency in a mixer and can be demodulated if the modulation index is less than unity, requiring an exact match between the audio frequency and carrier frequency during demodulation to avoid distortion.

Double-sideband suppressed-carrier transmission

Double-sideband suppressed-carrier transmission (DSB-SC): transmission in which (a) frequencies produced by amplitude modulation are symmetrically spaced above and below the carrier frequency and (b) the carrier level is reduced to the lowest practical level, ideally completely suppressed. In the double-sideband suppressed-carrier transmission (DSB-SC) modulation, unlike AM, the wave carrier is not transmitted; thus, a great percentage of power that is dedicated to it is distributed between the sidebands, which implies an increase of the cover in DSB-SC, 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).

Spectrum
This is basically an amplitude modulation wave without the carrier therefore reducing power wastage, giving it a 100% efficiency rate. This is an increase compared to normal AM transmission (DSB), which has a maximum efficiency of 33.33%, since efficiency is defined as: E = (Sideband Power)/(Sideband Power + Carrier Power).

[edit] Generation
DSBSC is generated by a mixer. This consists of an audio source combined with the frequency carrier.

[edit] Demodulation
For demodulation the audio frequency and the carrier frequency must be exact otherwise we get distortion(jubo). DSB-SC can be demodulated if modulation index is less than unity

[edit] How it works


This is best shown graphically. Below, 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 (

. ) sinusoidpictured below.

The modulation is performed by multiplication in the time domain, which yields a 5 kHz carrier signal, whose amplitude varies in the same manner as the message signal.

The name "suppressed carrier" comes about because the carrier signal component is suppressedit does not appear in the output signal. This is apparent when the spectrum of the output signal is viewed:
