SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies the differences between Double Sideband (DSB) and Single Sideband (SSB) in amplitude modulation (AM) radio transmitters. DSB transmits both sidebands along with the carrier, while SSB transmits only one sideband and eliminates the carrier, making it more efficient. SSB is preferred due to its power advantages and ease of reception, despite being more expensive to produce. Currently, SSB is the dominant choice in AM broadcasting.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of amplitude modulation principles
  • Familiarity with radio transmission concepts
  • Knowledge of signal processing techniques
  • Basic grasp of carrier and sideband functions in AM signals
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the technical specifications of SSB modulation techniques
  • Explore the applications and advantages of DSB in specific scenarios
  • Learn about the design and production costs associated with SSB transmitters
  • Investigate the impact of sideband selection on signal quality and transmission range
USEFUL FOR

Radio engineers, telecommunications professionals, and anyone involved in AM broadcasting or signal processing will benefit from this discussion.

You are asking about double sideband and single sideband in AM radio transmitters?
You would have to know how amplitude modulation works. I'll assume you do.
If not, read the following:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplitude_modulation
The products of AM are the original carrier and the sum and difference of the carrier and the audio modulation.

So this is a carrier and two sidebands. It is what you listen to as an AM broadcast signal.

DSB removes the carrier but transmits both sidebands.
SSB removes the carrier and also one of the sidebands.


which is better

SSB is better but more expensive to produce. However it is easier to receive.

which is used mostly
SSB is nearly always used now since it gives power advantages (DSB transmits the same information twice) and is easier to receive than DSB.

You might like to read the following article which gives some applications for DSB
