Modulator
Accos(2πfct+φ)
Power in s(t) is .5Ac2Pm
Power in m′(t) is .25Ac2Pm
Power in n′(t) is .5N0B
SNR=.5Ac2Pm/(N0B)
Power of s(t) over power of n(t) in BW
Single Sideband
Onlytransmits upper or lower sideband
of AM
USB LSB
Reduces bandwidth by factor of 2
Transmitted signal can be written in
terms of Hilbert transform of m(t)
SSB can introduce distortion at DC
Vestigial Sideband
TransmitsUSB or LSB and vestige of
other sideband
USB
Reduces bandwidth by roughly a factor
of 2

Main Points
SNRin DSBSC is power of transmit
signal over power of noise in the
bandwidth of interest.
SSBis a spectrally efficient AM
technique with half the BW
requirements of standard AM and
DSBSC.
VSBsimilar to SSB, uses slightly more
BW for a lower DC distortion.
