Tips on radio waves What is SSB (Single Side Band)? SSB is very popular among ham and business radio transmissions, and is commonly used in many amateur bands because of its superiority in signal intelligibility. Its impressive signal intelligibility is achieved with minimum interferences when compared to DSB (Double Side Band) owing to its half bandwidth structure.
