Discussion

Three schemes carrying the same 3 kHz message are compared.

SchemeBandwidthCarrier power
Full-carrier AM6 kHzTwo thirds of total
DSB-SC6 kHzNone
SSB3 kHzNone

Which conclusion follows from the table?

  • A.SSB saves both bandwidth and power
  • B.DSB-SC saves bandwidth but not power
  • C.Full-carrier AM saves power but not bandwidth
  • D.All three are equivalent in efficiency

Answer: A

Reading across, SSB alone improves on both axes: half the bandwidth and no wasted carrier. DSB-SC saves the power but not the bandwidth, which is the reverse of the second option. Full-carrier AM saves neither and buys receiver simplicity instead. And the table itself refutes any claim of equivalence. Laying the three out this way is the quickest way to fix the comparison in memory.
