Sideband

Platforms Glossary

In radio communications, a sideband is the band of frequencies either higher or lower than the carrier frequency. Sidebands are a product of the amplitude modulation process. Single-sideband transmission, in which one sideband is removed, is used in amateur (ham) radio.

Unless working in an industry involving radio communications or high-tech sound technologies, SMBs typically don't need to be concerned with sideband frequencies.
