Double-sideband reduced-carrier transmission


Double-sideband reduced carrier transmission : transmission in which the frequencies produced by amplitude modulation are symmetrically spaced above and below the carrier and the carrier level is reduced for transmission at a fixed level below that which is provided to the modulator.
Note: In DSB-RC transmission, the carrier is usually transmitted at a level suitable for use as a reference by the receiver, except for the case in which it is reduced to the minimum practical level, i.e. the carrier is suppressed.
