    Single sideband modulation (SSB) is derived from amplitude modulation and improves efficiency by removing the carrier wave and one sideband, transmitting only a single sideband. This reduces transmitter power needs by 50% compared to AM. SSB also allows for narrower receiver bandwidth, improving signal-to-noise ratio. While more complex than AM, SSB provides significantly better performance for two-way radio communication through greater efficiency and reception quality.

    Single sideband modulation or SSB SC

    Single sideband modulation or SSB is derived from amplitude modulation (AM) and
    SSB modulation overcomes a number of the disadvantages of AM.
    Single sideband modulation is normally used for voice transmission, but technically it
    can be used for many other applications where two way radio communication using
    analogue signals is required.
    As a result of its widespread use there are many items of radio communication
    equipment designed to use single sideband radio including: SSB receiver, SSB
    transmitter and SSB transceiver equipment's.

    What is single sideband modulation?


    Single sideband, SSB modulation is basically a derivative of amplitude modulation,
    AM. By removing some of the components of the ordinary AM signal it is possible
    to significantly improve its efficiency.
    In the first instance, the carrier is removed - it can be re-introduced in the receiver,
    and secondly one sideband is removed - both sidebands are mirror images of one
    another and the carry the same information. This leaves only one sideband - hence
    the name Single Side Band / SSB.

    A balanced modulator is a device that modifies a signal, usually in the form of
    an amplitude modulated (AM) radio signal. It takes the original signal that has
    both sidebands and a carrier signal, and then modulates it so that only the
    sideband signals come through the output modulator. This creates a balanced
    signal, as there is less noise because the carrier signal has been removed.

    SSB advantages
    Single sideband modulation is often compared to AM, of which it is a derivative. It has several advantages for
    two way radio communication that more than outweigh the additional complexity required in the SSB receiver
    and SSB transmitter required for its reception and transmission.

    1.As the carrier is not transmitted, this enables a 50% reduction in transmitter power level for the same level of
    information carrying signal. [NB for an AM transmission using 100% modulation, half of the power is used in
    the carrier and a total of half the power in the two sideband - each sideband has a quarter of the power.]
    2.As only one sideband is transmitted there is a further reduction in transmitter power.

    3.As only one sideband is transmitted the receiver bandwidth can be reduced by half. This improves the signal
    to noise ratio by a factor of two, i.e. 3 dB, because the narrower bandwidth used will allow through less noise
    and interference.

    The summary of this is that SSB modulation offers a far more effective solution for two way radio
    communication because it provides a significant improvement in efficiency
