F023 TAv 21 - Comms EO 21.02 - SSB

Name one form of AM SSB transmission.

What is the main advantage of single side band over double side band?

• it is more power efficient

• It is not affected by noise

• The receiver circuit is simpler

• It is less likely to suffer from over modulation

Which of the following statements are disadvantages of single side band over double side band?

• it is less power efficient

• The susceptibility to noise increases

• The receiver needs to add a carrier signal

• It is more likely to suffer from over modulation

In the diagram of a SSB Transmitter, what letter represents the component that;

generates the low frequency carrier signal in the form of a sinusoidal voltage at a frequency of 500 kHz?

In the diagram of a SSB Transmitter, what letter represents the component that;

passes one of the side bands and rejects the other, so that only a single side band signal is fed to the balanced mixer?

In the diagram of a SSB Receiver, what letter represents the component that;

generates a low frequency carrier signal to be inserted on the side band?
