What is the effect of transmitting DSB-SC and receiving it with an envelope detector?

  • A.The message is recovered rectified and distorted
  • B.Nothing is recovered at all
  • C.The message is recovered perfectly
  • D.The message is recovered with reversed polarity only

Answer: A

The detector follows the magnitude, so it delivers a full-wave rectified version of the message, rich in harmonics and quite unlike the original. Something is certainly recovered, which is what makes the fault confusing in practice: the audio is present but wrong. Perfect recovery needs a coherent detector. And a simple polarity reversal would be harmless by comparison with what actually happens.
