ABSTRACT:
A television signal ghost detector is provided which acquires a component of a ghost signal when one is present, after which the ghost signal component is tracked, thereby providing a continuous indication of the presence of the ghost signal and its delay with respect to the main television signal. In the television receiver, a training signal contained within the received television signal is applied to a variable delay line. When the television signal is contaminated by a ghost signal, the training signal will be followed by a ghost of itself. When the delay of the variable delay line is correct, the delayed training signal at the output of the delay line will be in time coincidence with the training signal ghost at the input of the delay line. A coincidence detector detects this condition, after which time the delay of the delay line is controlled to maintain the coincident condition during subsequent receptions of the training signal. The delay of the delay line is a measure of the delay of the ghost signal with respect to the main television signal. When the delay of the delay line is incorrect, and the coincident condition is not established, the delay of the delay line is varied until the coincident condition occurs.
