How does a speech processor affect a single sideband phone signal?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: B. It increases average power
A speech processor compresses the voice so weak syllables are boosted, raising the average power. Peak power stays the same because the transmitter is already limited at the peaks.
Tip: Raises average, not peak.
