DSB - Double SideBand
It is a transmitting mode very similar to AM, where the carrier
is suppressed and only the two sidebands are transmitted.
Since the carrier uses normally half the power of an AM transmission, suppressing
it we can transmit the sidebands, carrying the useful information, at a double power
level.
However, radio amateurs don't use DSB, because the prefer the SSB,
that has even greater performances.
