Peak envelope power is the quantity specified for an SSB transmitter because

  • A.It is easier to measure than average power
  • B.Regulators have no interest in average power
  • C.The average power of speech is zero
  • D.It sets the linearity and the device ratings

Answer: D

The output devices must handle the peaks without distortion, so peak envelope power is what determines linearity and the power rating, while the average power of speech is only a fraction of it. Average power is if anything easier to measure with a simple wattmeter. Regulators specify both in various contexts. And the average power of speech is small but certainly not zero, which is why a licence limit in peak envelope power is not the same as one in average power.
