Replacing that AM transmitter with SSB carrying the same intelligence saves

  • A.500 W of the 600 W radiated
  • B.200 W of the 600 W radiated
  • C.100 W of the 600 W radiated
  • D.Nothing, since the message power is unchanged

Answer: A

SSB radiates only the one sideband:

\[ 600 - 100 = 500 \ \mathrm{W} \ \mathrm{saved} \]

a saving of 500 watts, or about 83 per cent, since the carrier and the redundant sideband are both discarded. 200 W would be the saving from suppressing one sideband alone. 100 W is the power actually transmitted. And the last option misses the point entirely: the message power is unchanged, which is exactly why everything else can be thrown away. Both economies are independent, which is why the three schemes form a ladder rather than a pair.
