ABSTRACT:
A descrambler system for a CATV television signal having IF audio, video and synchronizing components that is scrambled by a first amplitude modulation of the IF audio component and a second amplitude modulation of the combined audio, visual and synchronizing components by a key signal having a frequency that is an integral multiple of a 15.75 KHz horizontal synchronizing frequency includes a demodulator responsive to the scrambled signal, a key signal detecting circuit coupled to derive the key signal from the audio portion of the demodulator output and a dynamic limiter circuit coupled to remove noise from the key signal and provide a noise free sine wave key signal to the demodulator. The dynamic limiter circuit is an inexpensive circuit providing the signal processing characteristics of a much more expensive narrow band filter. It includes a current limiter circuit driven by a current source in proportion to the magnitude of the scrambled signal to provide a square wave signal at the key signal frequency that is proportional in magnitude to the scrambled signal and a simple filter that converts the square wave signal to a sine wave key signal that is used by the demodulator circuit with the exact shape, frequency and amplitude characteristics for noise free unscrambling of the scrambled CATV signal.
