The envelope of a DSB-SC signal for a tone message is

  • A.A square wave at twice the message frequency
  • B.The rectified tone
  • C.The tone itself
  • D.A constant, with the message carried entirely in the phase

Answer: B

With no carrier to bias it, the envelope follows the magnitude of the message, so it looks like a full-wave rectified tone repeating at twice the message frequency, and the carrier phase reverses at each null. That is exactly why a simple envelope detector recovers the wrong waveform. The tone itself appears as the envelope only when a large carrier is added. A constant envelope belongs to angle modulation. And a square envelope would need a square-wave message.
