| Single sideband suppressed carrier signals are used to convey voice information in the high frequency radio spectrum. Due to the nature of this type of modulation, it is necessary for the transmitter and receiver to be closely tuned to the same frequency. This is a difficult requirement in low cost, commercial and amateur quality radio transceivers.; This thesis presents and evaluates a blind adaptive algorithm for autonomously clarifying a received single sideband signal without resorting to the usual methods that involve either pilot carriers or a vestigial opposite sideband. At the conclusion of the thesis simulations of this algorithm are presented along with the results that were obtained. |
