Observations::
  • Synchronous Detection: this characteristic allows a enhanced tuning of transmissions having interference due to adjacent broadcast stations, by using one of the two sides (USB or LSB) od the DSB signal instead of the two side bands, as usually occurs. It also allows a better tuning of transmissions with distortion due to fading (mainly when occurs multipath propagation) through the generation of a pure carrier frequency with no level variation ideally synchronized twith the original carrier.
