SSB GENERATION
7/29/2017 Analog Communication 2
1. Filter Method
2. Phase shift Method
3. The Third Method
7/29/2017 Analog Communication 3
Advantages:
1. Bandwidth is flat and wide
2. Side band suppression upto 50dB which is quite adequate.
3. Sideband filters also helps to alternate carrier if present in the
output of the balanced modulator.
7/29/2017 Analog Communication 6
Disadvantages:
1. They are bulky
2. Repeated mixing is required if modulation takes place at
lower carrier freq.
3. For high and low radio frq. it need balanced mixers in
conjunction with extremely stable crystal oscillators.
4. At lower audio frequencies expensive filters are required.
7/29/2017 Analog Communication 7
Advantages
Bulky filters are replaced by small filters.
Low audio frequencies may be used for small filters.
It can generate SSB at any freq.
Easy switching from one sideband to other sideband is possible.
To generate SSB at high radio frq. Up conversion and repetitive
mixing is not necessary.
7/29/2017 Analog Communication 10
Disadvantages:
It needs a critical phase shift n/w
The s/m needs two balanced modulations which must both give
exactly the same o/p otherwise cancellation of side band will be
incomplete.
Circuit layout is quite critical.
7/29/2017 Analog Communication 11
Advantages:
It does not require SB filter or any wide band audio phase shift
n/w.
Phase shift n/w is very simple RC n/w.
Correct o/p may be maintained without use of critical parts or
adjustments.
Low freq. can be transmitted.
Side bands may be easily switched.
7/29/2017 Analog Communication 13
Disadvantages:
Most complex system among the three methods.
Extra crystal is required for sideband switching
DC Coupling is required to avoid the loss of signal
components close to the audio carrier freq.
