A squaring loop suffers from which limitation?

  • A.It requires a transmitted pilot
  • B.It works only for single sideband
  • C.A phase ambiguity of half a cycle
  • D.It cannot track frequency drift once the loop has acquired lock

Answer: C

Squaring destroys the sign, so the recovered carrier carries a half-cycle ambiguity and the recovered message may come out inverted; for analogue speech that hardly matters, but for data it must be resolved by a known reference or by differential coding. It tracks drift perfectly well once locked. It needs no pilot, which is its attraction. And it is a suppressed-carrier technique applicable to DSB rather than restricted to SSB.
