Single Sideband (SSB)

Single Sideband (SSB) is a radio communication technique that efficiently transmits information by eliminating one of the two sidebands used in traditional amplitude modulation (AM). In SSB, only one sideband (either upper or lower) and the carrier signal are transmitted, which reduces bandwidth and power usage. This allows for clearer, long-distance communication, as it minimizes interference and improves signal quality. SSB is widely used in marine, aviation, and amateur radio communications, making it an essential method for effective and efficient long-range voice communication.
