Abstract
To minimize carrier leak in the modulation of voice frequencies to the desired line frequency for a carrier system, a first balanced modulator is operated at a low frequency where low carrier-leak modulators may be constructed and a second balanced modulator, directly coupled to the first, is employed. The modulation frequency of said second modulator is very high compared to that of said low-frequency modulator. The sideband obtained from the second modulation stage is remote from said high-frequency carrier and a band-pass filter selects the desired sideband and substantially eliminates the high-frequency carrier and the other sideband. Thus, only a low amplitude of carrier leak is present which may cause interference with other channels.
