What is the approximate bandwidth of a typical single sideband (SSB) voice signal?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: B. 3 kHz
A typical SSB voice signal is about 3 kHz wide. That is just enough room for the speech sounds needed to understand a voice. 1 kHz is too narrow for voice, and 6 kHz is closer to an AM signal.
Tip: SSB voice: 3 kHz.
