SSB Rated Output Power/Carrier Suppression Measurement
Description
This procedure is used to measure a SSB Transmitter’s rated output
power into 50 Ω. The transmitter is modulated with two separate audio
signals at different frequencies. The amplitude of each audio signal is
adjusted until the transmitted side-band signals are equal as displayed
on the spectrum analyzer screen. Once properly adjusted, the RF
Output power is measured. A reference is then established, and the
carrier suppression is measured by removing all audio to the
microphone input.
