What is the practical consequence of SSB's need for linear amplification?

  • A.Lower transmitter efficiency than AM or FM can achieve
  • B.A wider occupied bandwidth than DSB-SC
  • C.A requirement for a diode detector at the receiver
  • D.An inability to use solid-state output devices

Answer: A

Linear class AB operation is markedly less efficient than the class C stages an unmodulated or angle-modulated carrier permits, so an SSB transmitter runs hotter and draws more supply power for a given output. That is the price of putting information in the envelope. Bandwidth is narrower than DSB-SC, not wider. Its receiver uses a product detector rather than a diode. And solid-state linear amplifiers are entirely standard.
