AM, or amplitude modulation, was the earliest way of sending voice over radio waves. That makes sense because it is easy to modulate a signal and easy to demodulate it, as well. A carbon microphone is ...

Single Sideband, or SSB, has been the predominant amateur radio voice mode for many decades now. It has bee traditionally generated by analogue means, generating a double sideband and filtering away ...

In radio communications, one way to generate single sideband (SSB) signals is to make a double sideband signal by feeding a carrier and a modulation signal into a balanced modulator to create a double ...

This year, we recognize John R. Carson for two major contributions to communications technology: the invention of single-sideband (SSB) modulation and his rule for estimating frequency modulation (FM) ...

The generation of single sideband (SSB) signals first came to my attention via ham radio back in the early 1960s. My call was then and still is WA2IBH. The best phonetic I had for that call sign was ...
