Vestigial sideband is used for television video because

  • A.Envelope detection is impossible with single sideband
  • B.The picture requires a suppressed carrier for contrast stability
  • C.The video spectrum extends to very low frequencies
  • D.It halves the required transmitter power

Answer: C

Video content reaches down towards direct current, so a filter sharp enough to remove one sideband cleanly without damaging the low-frequency components cannot be built; leaving a vestige of the unwanted sideband solves it. Power saving is a secondary benefit. Envelope detection of SSB is indeed poor, but the driving reason here is the spectral shape of the message. And the carrier is retained precisely so that a simple envelope detector can be used in the receiver.
