This is because transmitting both upper side band (USB) and lower side band (LSB)

71
Real valued signals will result in spectrum with conjugate symmetry

An asymmetric spectrum will result in a complex signal.

Let us split M(f) into its USB and LSB components M+(f) and M-(f)

If, m+(t) → M+(f) and m-(t) → M+(f), then

72
Here, mh(t) and Mh(f) are the imaginary
Portions yet to be found

73
Therefore,

74
Here, Hh(f) is the transfer function of the Hilbert Filter defined by,

75

SSB Considering only the Upper Side Band

77
SSB Considering only the Lower Side Band

78
Note the passband SSB signals are real although m+(t) and m_(t) are complex
79
 Compare with QAM

However, it may not be easy to design a wideband phase shifter that shifts the
Phase of every frequency component exactly by 90o
