ABSTRACT:
A signal separation network is provided which accomplishes the functions of a sound take-off network and intercarrier sound trap in a single network. A common detector produces detected composite video and intercarrier sound signals. Circuitry is provided for processing the composite video signal, and a separate circuit is provided for processing sound information. The signal separation network has an input responsive to the detected composite video and intercarrier sound signals, a first output terminal coupled to the input of the video processing circuitry, and a second output terminal coupled to the input of the sound processing circuitry. The network is characterized by a transfer function which exhibits a dominant zero approximately at the intercarrier sound frequency at the first output terminal, which provides trapping of the intercarrier sound signal in the path to the video processing circuitry. The network is also characterized by a transfer function at the second output terminal which exhibits a dominant pole substantially at the intercarrier sound frequency and a zero at a lower frequency so as to peak the response at the second terminal around the intercarrier sound frequency. The intercarrier sound signal is therefore prefiltered by the bandpass characteristic at this second terminal and is then applied to the sound processing circuitry. The network may be arranged in either a series tuned or a bridged-T configuration, and may also be arranged so as to exhibit a zero in the transfer function at the second output terminal which provides attenuation of mid-band video signals in the sound channel.
