Abstract

806,391. Colour television. BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION. June 3, 1957 [July 26, 1956], No. 23193/56. Class 40 (3). Relates to a colour television system utilizing a luminance signal and a chrominance signal which is located within the band of the luminance signal and is in the form of two sub-carriers of the same frequency but having a quadrature phase relationship. At a receiver, when the chrominance signal is detected by means of two synchronous detectors to derive the colour information, components of the luminance signal located at or near the subcarrier are also detected and may prove troublesome in the picture display. In accordance with the invention, this defect is eliminated at the transmitter by suppressing or attenuating the band of luminance frequencies around the sub-carrier frequency. To do this the luminance signal at 10 is applied in parallel to two synchronous detectors 11 and 12, oscillations at sub-carrier frequency being supplied from terminal 13, the connection to detector 11 including a 90 degrees phase-shifter. The detector outputs are derived through lowpass filters 15 and 16 and applied to balanced modulators 17 and 18, which are fed with subcarrier oscillations obtained respectively from phase-shifter 14 and terminal 13. The outputs of the modulators are then added in adding circuit 19 and finally subtracted from the original luminance signal in circuit 20. In effect the components around the sub-carrier frequency it is desired to suppress are shifted to the bottom of the spectrum by detectors 11 and 12, so that they may be selected by low-pass filters 15 and 16, and then restored to their original frequencies by modulators 17 and 18 before subtraction. The arrangement avoids the use of a band-pass filter, which in the particular circumstances is difficult to design. Delay networks 21 and 22 are designed to introduce a delay equal to that produced by filters 15 and 16. Delay network 23 introduces a delay equal to that encountered by the luminance signal in passing through the system from terminal 10 to subtracting circuit 20.
