Why must the SSB filter act at a relatively low frequency?

  • A.The balanced modulator works only at low frequency
  • B.Sideband suppression is unnecessary at high frequency
  • C.The fractional bandwidth needed is otherwise impossibly small
  • D.Filters cannot be built above a few megahertz with any useful selectivity

Answer: C

The gap between the two sidebands is only twice the lowest message frequency, a few hundred hertz, so at a high carrier the filter would need a fractional bandwidth far beyond any practical resonator. At a few hundred kilohertz or a few megahertz the same absolute transition is a manageable fraction. Filters certainly exist far above a few megahertz, but not with this selectivity. Balanced modulators work at any frequency. And suppression is needed regardless.
