The Phase-Shift Method of Single-Sideband Signal Reception

The phase-shift method of single-sideband signal reception exhibits characteristics determined by four principal design pararneters. The expression developed for the ratio of sideband rejection to sideband acceptance is similar to that which expresses the sideband suppression ratio obtainable with the phase-shift method single-sideband signal generation. Zero frequency output signals derived by demodulators from a transmitted pilot carrier may be used for gain control and frequency control in a receiver designed for this mode of operation. Dual channel operation is obtained with a minimum of equipment added to that necessary for single channel use. Use of the phase-shift method in combination with band-pass filters to enhance performance is discussed.
