Why DSB SC?
Lecture 1 : Understand the concept of DSBSC
The carrier contains no information.
So we can think of avoiding or suppressing carrier.

The modulated signal s(t) undergoes a phase reversal whenever the message signal m(t)
crosses zero.
This is called double side-band suppressed carrier (DSB-SC) modulation.

1. Transmission bandwidth is same as standard AM.
2. Transmitted power is less than that used by standard AM.
DSB-SC modulation is generated by using a product modulator that simply
multiplies the message signal m(t) by the carrier wave A
