G2A07
Which of the following statements is true of single sideband (SSB)?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: B. Only one sideband is transmitted; the other sideband and carrier are suppressed
In SSB, the carrier and one sideband are suppressed, leaving only one sideband. That is why it is efficient; other voice modes such as AM are also legal on HF.
Tip: SSB: one sideband, no carrier.
