Double-sideband suppressed-carrier transmission (DSB-SC): transmission in which (a) frequencies produced by amplitude modulation are symmetrically spaced above and below the carrier frequency and (b) the carrier level is reduced to the lowest practical level, ideally completely suppressed.

In the double-sideband suppressed-carrier transmission (DSB-SC) modulation, unlike AM, the wave carrier is not transmitted; thus, a great percentage of power that is dedicated to it is distributed between the sidebands, which implies an increase of the cover in DSB-SC, compared to AM, for the same power used.

DSB-SC transmission is a special case of Double-sideband reduced carrier transmission. This is used for RDS (Radio Data System) due to the fact that it is difficult to decouple. Spectrum This is basically an amplitude modulation wave without the carrier therefore reducing power wastage, giving it a 50% efficiency rate. Image:Spectrum DSBSC.jpg Generation DSBSC is generated by a mixer. This consists of an audio source combined with the frequency carrier. <math>

 \underbrace{V_m \cos \left( \omega_m t \right)}_{\mbox{Audio}} \times 
 \underbrace{V_c \cos \left( \omega_c t \right)}_{\mbox{Carrier}} = 
 \frac{V_m V_c}{2} \left[ 
   \underbrace{\cos\left(\left( \omega_c + \omega_m \right)t\right)}_{\mbox{USB}} +
   \underbrace{\cos\left(\left( \omega_c - \omega_m \right)t\right)}_{\mbox{LSB}}
 \right]

How it works

This is best shown graphically. Below, is a message signal that one may wish to modulate onto a carrier, consisting of a couple of sinusoidal components. Image:DSBSC_Message_Signal.png The equation for this message signal is <math>s(t) = \frac{1}{2}\cos\left(2\pi 800 t\right) - \frac{1}{2}\cos\left( 2\pi 1200 t\right)</math>. The carrier, in this case, is a plain 5 kHz (<math>c(t) = \cos\left( 2\pi 5000 t \right)</math>) sinusoid -- pictured below. Image:DSBSC_Carrier_Signal.png The modulation is performed by multiplication in the time domain, which yields a 5 kHz carrier signal, whose amplitude varies in the same manner as the message signal. Image:DSBSC_Modulated_Output.png <math>x(t) = \underbrace{\cos\left( 2\pi 5000 t \right)}_\mbox{Carrier} \times \underbrace{\left[\frac{1}{2}\cos\left(2\pi 800 t\right) - \frac{1}{2}\cos\left( 2\pi 1200 t\right)\right]}_\mbox{Message Signal}</math> The name "suppressed carrier" comes about because the carrier signal component is suppressed -- it does not appear (theoretically) in the output signal. This is apparent when the spectra of the output signal is viewed: Image:DSBSC_Spectrum.png
