ABSTRACT:
An SSB pulse modulator which attenuates unwanted even harmonics of the carrier frequency without expensive filtering. The modulator comprises two pairs of comparators (12, 14 and 16, 18), and the sine and cosine components of the carrier signal are modulating signal [a(t)] and the Hilbert transform [a(t)] thereof are applied to respective ones of the comparators. EX-OR gates (20, 22) multiply together the outputs of each pair of comparators (12, 14 and (16, 18), the multiplied outputs being combined with each other in a signal combining arrangement (24). Each pair of the comparators produces the unwanted even harmonics, which are then attenuated by subtraction from each other in the combining arrangement.
