Greetings TOM!   
      
      
    RW> TW>> I have no problem with that but it stil lstands that the Word   
    RW> TW>> "Carrier" is a Standard term  used to describe the RF signal   
    RW> TW>> eninating form a transmitter.   
      
    RW>> Then how do you explain the non-carrier of a SSB transmission?   
      
    TW> The theory is fairly simple, And as a side note the full name is   
    TW> "Single Side Band Suppresed Carrier"!!!   
      
   In other words, no carrier...   
      
    TW> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-sideband_modulation   
      
    TW> In radio communications, single-sideband modulation (SSB) or   
    TW> single-sideband suppressed-carrier (SSB-SC) is a refinement of   
    TW> amplitude modulation that more efficiently uses transmitter power and   
    TW> bandwidth. Amplitude modulation produces an output signal that has   
    TW> twice the bandwidth of the original baseband signal. Single-sideband   
    TW> modulation avoids this bandwidth doubling, and the power wasted on a   
    TW> carrier, at the cost of increased device complexity and more   
    TW> difficult tuning at the receiver.....Snip.... for brevity   
      
   Thanks for proving my point.   
      
      
       Have a day!
