Only three? If the modulation is a complex signal (not just a single
sinusoid), you'll get (ideally) a carrier on a single frequency, and
upper and lower sidebands spanning a range of frequencies. Any decent
spectrum analyzer will easily resolve these components.
Communications receivers with narrow bandwidth, sharp cutoff filters
can also resolve them, of course.

And only "in that time"? You still can: there are plenty of AM
stations broadcasting in the 0.5MHz to 30MHz range (and some outside
that). But in 1915, it may well have been easier to analyze the
signal mathematically than with hardware. The hardware may not have
been very common, but certainly the math identities required were
readily available, as was Fourier analysis.

What if both sidebands are NOT "saying the same thing"? Then, for
instance, you can broadcast stereo in a way that receivers mixing the
two sidebands will still receive an acceptable mono signal.

That statement is at best misleading, and in some cases incorrect.

In most receivers any *tunable* filter is MUCH MUCH wider than the
bandwidth required to accommodate the bandwidth of the signal transmitted.

The selectivity being produced by one or more *fixed* frequency filters

The modulation used has nothing directly to do with the distance a signal
is usefull. That is determined, at a given power and state of the the
ionosphere, mostly by signal to noise ratio which is influenced by the
bandwidth of the modulation method but not by the modulation method itself.

Electomagnetic propagate works the same today as it did in 1915 or even
30,000 BC if anyone had been around with a radio.

You are a babbling idiot.

Damped waves bear little or no similarity to AM, they are essentially
pulses with a very different spectral content.

Being pulses the spectral content is wide, tending to infinite, and yes
I suppose that the spectrum received by a distant station will vary
depending on distance; the lower level spectral lines that are spaced a
long way from the fundamental will be lost below the noise as you get
further away or the signal gets weaker due to propagation changes. The
more side-bands that you loose the slower will be the rise and fall time
of the received pulse.

AM is very different the spectrum is much more contained and only 1
side-band is required to replicate the waned signal.

There were no broadcasting stations of any kind in 1915.

The first station that could even remotely be called a broadcasting station
was in 1916 and it broadcasted weather reports in morse code.

The first experimental AM broadcast stations started in 1919 and regular AM
broadcasting started in 1920 when all the spark gap morse transmitters
were shut down.

the first entertainment type audio transmissions to a general audience
in 1906.

As did Marconi and several others, but they certainly could not be
described as a broadcast station, more like experimental demonstrations.

There were no broadcasting stations of any kind in 1915.

The first station that could even remotely be called a broadcasting station
was in 1916 and it broadcasted weather reports in morse code.

The first experimental AM broadcast stations started in 1919 and regular AM
broadcasting started in 1920 when all the spark gap morse transmitters
were shut down.



Make that 1906 for the first experimental AM broadcast.

Again you must differentiate between sporadic demonstrations and the
setting up of a station with scheduled programming, which is what the
discussion is about.

The operative words are "scheduled" and "public" in this context.

There were lots of one off things done before 1919.

but did distance affect the sidebands???? that is the question,
please keep mr. B on topic!

This babbling moron has been posting his nonsense for years on the physics
and physics.electromagnetic groups.

When I first read his posts years ago I thought his gibberish was because
English wasn't his native language but soon came to realize that the issue
isn't language, the issue is brain chemistry.

Recently he has moved to the amateur groups, I guess in hopes that the
people here won't be as "harsh" as they are in the science groups.

You can give him facts and links all day long, but since he doesn't seem
to have more than two synapses that fire properly, he will never understand
any response and just continue to babble on.

So there are a few choices to answering his posts:

Don't

Remind him he is a drooling mental case

Respond with some facts that may be of interest to others when he accidently
hits on something, such as the history of broadcasting, then remind him he
is a drooling mental case

Do not be angry that you do not know if " did distance affect the
sidebands???? ". It is nothing wrong.
The effect is obvious in light of physics laws. Such obvious that fathers of
the radio did not write about this.
Young people can measure it if it is interesting for them.

distance itself does not affect sidebands.

frequency dependent dispersion in the ionosphere can affect sidebands
and the mark/space tones of rtty differently over short periods
causing differential fading and distortion.

One could also consider selective fading.

that's just another name for it... i threw in the big words because
i'm sure that mr.b will look them up out of context and find all sorts
of hilarious ways to recombine them.

It is gibberish; one has nothing to do with the other.

More meaningless gibberish.
