SSB Modulation
SSB Modulation, or Single Sideband Modulation, is a technique used in communication systems to transmit information efficiently. It is a refinement of amplitude modulation (AM) that eliminates one of the sidebands and the carrier wave, allowing for a more efficient use of bandwidth and power. This makes SSB particularly useful in long-distance radio communications, such as those used by amateur radio operators and maritime services.
In SSB, the audio signal is converted into a radio frequency signal, which can then be transmitted over the air. The receiving equipment demodulates the signal to recover the original audio. This method improves signal clarity and reduces interference, making it a preferred choice for voice communication in various applications, including aviation and military operations.
