E2B04
How is color information sent in analog SSTV?
-
A
Color lines are sent sequentially

Vestigial sideband provides high frequency emphasis to sharpen the picture
E2B06
What is vestigial sideband modulation?
-
A
Amplitude modulation in which one complete sideband and a portion of the other are transmitted
-
B
A type of modulation in which one sideband is inverted
