An SSB transmitter is said to have no carrier. What appears at the carrier frequency in practice?

  • A.Nothing measurable at all
  • B.A pilot deliberately added at full power
  • C.The unwanted sideband folded down
  • D.A small residue set by modulator balance

Answer: D

Real modulators are imperfectly balanced, so a small carrier residue remains, typically forty or more decibels below the wanted sideband, and it is specified and trimmed. Perfect suppression is unattainable. A full-power pilot would defeat the purpose, though a small deliberate pilot is used in some systems. And the unwanted sideband appears mirrored about the carrier rather than at it.
