Homonym: SSB (Single)
SSB, or Single Sideband, is a modulation technique used in radio communications. It allows for more efficient transmission of voice and data by eliminating one sideband and the carrier wave, which reduces bandwidth and improves signal clarity. SSB is commonly used in amateur radio, maritime communication, and aviation.
In SSB transmission, the audio signal is converted into radio waves, which can travel long distances. This method is particularly effective for long-range communication, as it minimizes interference and enhances the quality of the received signal. SSB is a key technology in modern radio systems, enabling clearer conversations over vast distances.
