Consider the following statements about suppressed-carrier systems.

1. DSB-SC and SSB both require coherent detection

2. SSB occupies half the bandwidth of DSB-SC

3. Suppressing the carrier reduces the occupied bandwidth

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.2 and 3 only
  • B.1, 2 and 3
  • C.1 and 2 only
  • D.1 and 3 only

Answer: C

The first two are correct. The third is the persistent misconception: removing the carrier removes a spectral line, not any bandwidth, since the two sidebands still sit either side of where it was. Bandwidth is saved only by removing a sideband. Keeping that distinction clear is what makes the three-way comparison of AM, DSB-SC and SSB straightforward rather than confusing.
