Why is carrier suppressed in DSB-SC?

Because, two-thirds of the power is being wasted in the carrier, which carries no information.

Why carrier is suppressed?

Suppressed-carrier transmission is a special case in which the carrier level is reduced below that required for demodulation by a normal receiver. Reduction of the carrier level permits higher power levels in the sidebands than would be possible with conventional AM transmission.

What do you mean by suppressed carrier modulation?

suppressed carrier modulation in British English

noun. radio. an amplitude-modulated wave in which only the sidebands are transmitted, the carrier being removed.

Does DSB-SC signal contain the carrier?

Double-sideband suppressed-carrier (DSB-SC) modulation is an amplitude modulation that consists only of the two symmetrical sidebands and no carrier band.
