Vestigial sideband is used for television video because

  • A.Colour information requires two sidebands
  • B.Envelope detection is impossible with single sideband
  • C.The video spectrum reaches down towards direct current
  • D.It halves the transmitter power needed

Answer: C

Video content extends almost to direct current, so a filter sharp enough to remove one sideband cleanly would destroy the low-frequency content that carries the picture's large-area brightness. Leaving a vestige of the unwanted sideband solves it while still saving most of the bandwidth. Power saving is incidental. Colour is carried on a subcarrier within the same channel. And envelope detection of SSB is poor, but the driving reason here is the spectral shape of the message.
