In a balanced modulator, 2 AM-modulators are connected in a way that the resultant signal does not contain the carrier spectrum, i.e. to generate a Double Side-band suppressed carrier (DSB-SC).

Analysis:

The circuit diagram of a balanced modulator is as shown:

The resultant DSB signal is the difference of the two, i.e.

Hence,

The frequency spectrum of the DSB-SC signal:

The standard DSB-SC equation is given as:

Assuming a single tone message signal as:

The DSB-SC signal can be written as:

∴ The output of balanced modulator contains the modulation frequency, LSB and USB.
