The SSB Modulation Page
Single sideband (SSB) modulation can be acconmplished simply by filtering a Double Sideband (DSB) or simple amplitude modulated signal, but the required sharpness and precision of the filters can be difficult to obtain. In addition, carrier freqnency drift can cause distortion. A more sophisticated way to generate SSB is to make use of Hilbert transforms, as shown below. Methods for generating Hilbert transforms can be found here.
