ABSTRACT:
A CCD output signal reproduction apparatus is applied to a solid state image sensor that performs a swing-driven image pickup operation. This image sensor is synchronized with one frame period and swings periodically and relatively in relation to incident light to pickup the image while changing the sampling positions in the A and B field periods. The carrier generator produces first and second sinusoidal carrier signals which have the same frequency as that of the read out frequency of the image sensor. An amplitude modulator modulates the carrier signals in response to the waveforms of the image signals supplied from the image sensor. Accordingly, amplitude-modulated A, B field image signals, which are phase-shifted by half the pixel pitch of the pixel arrangement of the image sensor. A carrier clamp circuit forcibly clamps the different peak potentials of the carrier waveforms of the amplitude-modulated field image signals to the reference potential level. In this way, when the field image signal whose waveform has been shaped is synthesized on the reproduction screen, it is possible to obtain a one frame image which has a resolution twice that determined by the actual number of pixels.
