What is meant by ""flat topping"" in a single-sideband phone transmission?
Signal distortion caused by excessive drive
'Flat-topping' in SSB occurs when the RF amplifier stages are overdriven, causing the peaks of the RF envelope to be clipped (flattened). This generates significant intermodulation distortion (splatter).
