ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Double-sideband suppressed-carrier transmission

Okay, so imagine you're playing with your dolls and you want to send a message to your friend who's playing in the other room. You could shout really loudly, but that might disturb others in the house. Instead, you decide to whisper the message into a doll's ear and send the doll to your friend.

Now, imagine if you could do the same thing but with electricity. Instead of shouting, we can send a message through electric signals. But sometimes these signals can interfere with other signals and cause confusion.

That's where double-sideband suppressed-carrier transmission comes in. It's like whispering the message through the electric signals so that it doesn't cause confusion.

Double-sideband means that the message is split into two parts, like a cookie being split in half. Think of one half as the top part of the cookie and the other half as the bottom part.

Suppressed-carrier means that the middle part of the cookie is taken out, so you just have the two halves.

So when we put it all together, double-sideband suppressed-carrier transmission means that we split the message into two parts and remove the middle part, like a cookie being split in half and the middle being taken out. This helps us whisper the message through the electric signals without causing confusion.
