"dxAce" wrote in message ... Radio hobbyists refer to the reception of an AM signal using the SSB mode on a receiver as "ECSS reception" Synchronous AM detectors can also be ECSS detectors, provided one sideband is suppressed by the receiver, the acronym for which I suggest is SECSS .... Otherwise they are SECDS(B) - the 'B' is optional, or SDSB, and, for symmetry, an alternative for SECSS could be SSSB..... Tom Rather than make up or otherwise abuse definitions, how about keeping the details straight, rather than add to the confusion. Sync detectors phase lock a locally generated carrier to the signal. The signal and the carrier go to a product detector. ECSS amplifies the carrier and applies it and the original signal to the product detector. (Hint: look up the definition of exalted.) Receiving an AM signal in SSB mode is simply that. The common theme - all use a product detector. craigm |
