What is one characteristic of single sideband (SSB) compared to FM?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. SSB signals have narrower bandwidth
SSB signals have narrower bandwidth than FM. An SSB voice signal is about 3 kHz wide, while FM voice is about 10-15 kHz. SSB is actually harder to tune in correctly than FM, so that choice is wrong.
Tip: SSB is skinny; FM is wide.
