In which part of a suppressed-carrier signal does the information reside?

  • A.In the envelope's mean level rather than its variation
  • B.Entirely in the sidebands
  • C.Entirely in the carrier
  • D.Split evenly between carrier and sidebands

Answer: B

All the information is in the sidebands, which is precisely why the carrier can be discarded without loss: it is a fixed-amplitude, fixed-frequency component that conveys nothing. What it does provide is a phase reference, and removing it transfers that burden to the receiver. Splitting the information would make suppression impossible. And the envelope's mean level tells you the carrier strength rather than the message, which is why it drives the gain control and not the audio output.
