Abstract
Abstract In a television receiver employing a synchronous demodulator for the intermediate frequency signal and an intermediate frequency picture carrier oscillator coupled thereto a frequency control signal is obtained from a phase detector active on the intermediate picture frequency and is applied via a highpass filter to the intermediate frequency picture carrier oscillator and via a lowpass filter to the oscillator of the mixer stage of the receiver.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
120 words
A circuit for receiving a signal having a carrier, said circuit comprising a mixer having a first input adapted to receive said signal, a second input, and an output means for providing said signal at an intermediate frequency; an oscillator having an output coupled to said mixer second input and a frequency control input; a phase detector having a first input coupled to said mixer output, a second input, and an output coupled to said oscillator control input; means for generating a signal having a frequency equal the carrier intermediate frequency having an output coupled to said detector second input and a frequency control input; and a high pass filter coupled between said detector output and said generator control input.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
120 words
A circuit for receiving a signal having a carrier, said circuit comprising a mixer having a first input adapted to receive said signal, a second input, and an output means for providing said signal at an intermediate frequency; an oscillator having an output coupled to said mixer second input and a frequency control input; a phase detector having a first input coupled to said mixer output, a second input, and an output coupled to said oscillator control input; means for generating a signal having a frequency equal the carrier intermediate frequency having an output coupled to said detector second input and a frequency control input; and a high pass filter coupled between said detector output and said generator control input.
