Abstract
Abstract A amplitude characteristics of TV vertical frequency signal is improved by operating amplitudes of luminance signal obtained from a horizontal scan in a field and luminance signals obtained from a preceding and a subsequent horizontal scans in the same field and those luminance signals obtained in a preceding field, simultaneously.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
An amplitude characteristics improving system for vertical TV frequency signal, comprising first means for operating amplitudes of a luminance signal obtained by a matrix operation of an output signal of a TV camera, a first signal obtained by delaying said luminance signal by one horizontal scan time and a second signal obtained by delaying said luminance signal by two horizontal scan time, second means for operation said luminance signal, said first signal, said second signal, a third signal obtined by delaying said luminance signal by one field and one horizontal scan time and a fourth signal obtained by delaying said luminance signal by one field and two horizontal scan time and third means responsive to an output of either said first means or said second means to provide an improved vertical TV frequency signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
An amplitude characteristics improving system for vertical TV frequency signal, comprising first means for operating amplitudes of a luminance signal obtained by a matrix operation of an output signal of a TV camera, a first signal obtained by delaying said luminance signal by one horizontal scan time and a second signal obtained by delaying said luminance signal by two horizontal scan time, second means for operation said luminance signal, said first signal, said second signal, a third signal obtined by delaying said luminance signal by one field and one horizontal scan time and a fourth signal obtained by delaying said luminance signal by one field and two horizontal scan time and third means responsive to an output of either said first means or said second means to provide an improved vertical TV frequency signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
64 words
The system claimed in claim 1, wherein said second means comprises a plurality of multipliers corresponding in number to said luminance signal and said first to fourth signals, said multiplier corresponding to said first signal having a multiplying coefficient larger than unity and two of the remaining multipliers having a multiplying coefficient smaller than 0, and an adder for adding outputs of said multipliers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The system claimed in claim 2, wherein the multiplying coefficients of said multipliers corresponding to said third and said fourth signal are positive.
