PRE-MODULATION AND POST-MODULATION CLIPPING IN SINGLE SIDEBAND TRANSMISSION

Abstract

The transmitted power of a single sideband (SSB) system is governed by the peak value of the input signal to the final amplifier. Pre-modulation and post-modulation clipping reduce the peak-to-average characteristics of this input signal. The benefits are examined of pre-modulation and post-modulation clipping. In premodulati n clipping the modulation process causes re-peaking resulting in a decrease in the expected improvement. Post-modulation clipping creates distortion components. Components with 0-10 db of clipping are negligible. (Author)
