Description:
Method for Modulation and Demodulation of Multiplexed Color picture Signal Capable of ..-Line Scanning and Means for Display thereof

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for modula¬ tion and demodulation of multiplexed color picture signal capable of 2-line scanning in order to in crease vertical resolution in color TV which is applicable in conventional scanning system, and a means for display thereof using 2- line electron beam.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the conventional raster scanning, it has been used only one line of electron beam in CRT, which may be now called one-line scanning. In order to achieve a high resolution TV image in this system, we may consider that the horizontal resolution can be increased by broadening bandwidth of video signal, and the vertical resolution may be enhanced by increasing number of lines in the scanning raster. However, this requires far extended transmission bandwidth and different television standard in comparison to NTSC television system.

An attempt to obtain a high resolution TV image has been disclosed in my prior Korean Patent Application No. 11342/89 entitled "Method for modulating Y/C signal", in which chrominance signal is separated from the luminance signal, and occurring of cross interference caused by the Y and C signal frequency components are interleaved in the

same baseband channel is originally prevented.

In this disclosure, the chrominance signal is modulat¬ ed in the same bandwidth as the chrominance signal of the conventional, NTSC system, in that the chrominance signal (fc*) has relationship of N x f H (N=570) , with the lumi¬ nance signal which has bandwidth of 0-7. MHz, in order to simplify conversion to the modulated signal which is compatible with chrominance signal in the NTSC system.

While, luminance signal has bandwidth of 0-7.2 MHz and relationship of 0-fc- , in which about 20% of high band is eliminated based on the sampling rate, 2fc*. The sam¬ pling rate between luminance and chrominance signal is approx. 5:1 in consideration of their bandwidth.

Thus, providing that the sampling rate of chrominance signal is fixed to 1/5 of that of the luminance signal, the sampling rate of the chrominance signal will be; 2fc* x 1/5 = 0.4 fc*, therefore the signal bandwidth including the chrominance signal fc* is made based on the sampling rate of 0.4 fc*. The above-mentioned luminance and chrominance signal is modulated into two carrier frequency having difference of ΔF(ΔF = 570 f H - 227.5 f H , i.e. fc* -fc) to make a modu¬ lated signal which is compatible with the conventional NTSC system in the interleaved region and capable of transmitting high resolution picture signal.

The above modulation scheme renders luminance signal wider signal bandwidth than the NTSC system, namely, 0-

7. MHz rather than 0-4.2 MHz, and increasing the resolu¬ tion in the horizontal direction. However, since the picture signal is displayed by the one-line scanning, there is still finite number of lines in the scanning raster, which limits the image clarity or resolution in the vertical direction.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

In view of the foregoing, the object of present inven¬ tion is to provide a method for modulation and deraodula- tion of multiplexed color picture signal so as to increase resolution in the vertical direction by using synchronous raster scanning of 2-Line electron beam, while maintaining the same horizontal resolution as in the conventional NTSC system by multiplexing the Y signal of 0-7.2 MHz bandwidth from the Y/C signal into 2 line of Y signals, which is divided in the demodulation process into two Y signals that make 2-Line scanning.

The another object of the present invention is to provide a means for display the multiplexed 2-Line elec- tron beam in color CRT having two line of cathode array or common R, G, B cathode and two grid electrode for Y signals.

color picture signal which is applicable in Video Disk Player or Fiber Optic transmission.

The other object of the present invention is to pro¬ vide a method' for modulation and demodulation of a multi- plexed color signal which is applicable in SHF or satel¬ lite communication.

In an embodiment of the method of modulation and demodulation of color picture signal, there is provided a step of the modulation comprised of producing a YQW signal, having double bandwidth of Y signal, by alternately sampled Y and Y. signals based on multiplied by 2 color subcarrier, 2 fc* as divisional signal, multiplexed from the color composite signal Y/C through 2 line input of multiplexer (11) , modulating the YQW signal through low pass filter (12) having 0-7.2 MHz of bandwidth to produce a multiplexed Yy signal producing a modulated color signal from the color difference signal (R-Y) , (B-Y) into color subcarrier c*)^ and having phase difference of 90° through mixers

MHz and 10.7-17.9 MHz in which 7.2 MHz - 10.7 MHz bandwidth is not restored, restoring Y and Y^ signal eliminated high band signal more than 7.2 MHz through low pass filter (34), (35) after dividing the Y and Y^ signal in divider (33) from the YQW signal, and demodulating the C signal and audio FM signal by reverse processing of their modulated signal process,

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The present invention relates to a method for produc¬ ing a multiplexed Y'Q/C signal through modulating luminance and chrominance signal (hereinafter called YVC signal) which is compatible with conventional NTSC composite picture signal, and for demodulating the YQ/C signal to be separated into two line signal which enable synchronous 2-Line scanning, thereby increase double vertical resolu¬ tion in raster.

Now, with reference to Fig. 5A and 5B, there are shown circuit block diagram for modulating and demodulating the multiplexed YQ/C signal, respectively. In Fig. 5A, the modulating circuit for the multiplexed Y " Q/C signal in-

eludes luminance Y signal modulating section composed of multiplexer 11 and low pass filter 12 for multiplexing modulation by color subcaliber of 2 fc*, color, C signal modulating section composed of mixer 13, 14, adder 15, and band pass filter 16 for modulating the subcarrier fc* to have 90° phase difference between color difference signal R-Y and B-Y", audio signal modulating section for obtaining modulated audio signal through FM modulator 17 and band pass filter 18, color subcarrier generating section com- posed of color subcarrier oscillator 19, phase shifter 20 and multiplier 21, and burst signal section for generating color burst through sampling circuit 22 and band pass filter 23.

In this arrangement, upper line of Y_ signal and lower line of '^ signal are supplied to the two inputs of multi¬ plexer 11 of Y' signal modulating section, and based on double multiplied color subcarrier 2 fc* from the color subcarrier oscillator 19, the multiplexer 11 produce a Y ' QW signal as shown in Fig. 4 (B) . This YQW signal is- supplied to the low pass filter 12 and the output signal YQ is obtained, having 0-7.2 MHz band¬ width.

Modulated C signal is produced through mixer 13, 14, adder 15 and band pass filter 16, having 7.5 MHz - 9.6 MHz bandwidth, from the color difference signal R-Y " and B-Y". Also, modulated audio FM signal is produced through fre¬ quency modulator 17 and band pass filter 18 having 9.8 MHz - 10.0 MHz Bandwidth. Burst signal is obtained by sepa-

rating color subcarrier fc* from 1H of phase synchronizing signal and filtering by band pass filter 23.

The modulated Y ' Q signal, C signal, FM audio signal and burst signal are summed in adder 24 to produce a multi- 5 plexed YQ/C signal.

In the multiplexed YQ/C signal, since Y * Q signal is made by double rate sampling than the Y signal of Y/C signal, it includes double video signal. However, com¬ paring Y/C signal in Fig. 1 (A) with Y ' Q/C signal in Fig. 2 10 (A) , they are in the same frequency bandwidth. Thus, difference signal from the Y and Y. signal is appeared as phase modulated component in 0-7.2 MHz bandwidth, and the YQ signal is compatible with Y signal, with improved phase transfer characteristics. On the other hand, in order to '-5 be divided again into Y & and Y. signal, it is necessary to restore the original YQW signal. This is accomplished by using YQ signal characteristics in phase modulation that has components of difference between YQW signal and Y " , Y signal in lower side band. 0 Also, since the YQW signal is produced by the Y and Y. signal based on divide signal of 2 fc*, the YQW signal is divided by 2 fc* signal and can be divided into original Y * a and Ytø signal.

However, YQ/C signal composed of YQ signal which has o-7.2 MHz bandwidth will be restored to YQW signal b means of low pass filter 12 in Fig. 5 (A) to restore eliminated band, or operation of difference sampling rate

of Y ' Q signal. The method for restore the eliminated frequency band can be found that the Y'QW signal can, as shown in Fig. 5 (B) , be expressed in summation of phase modulation component from the difference of Y and Y^ signal with signal fc* as the central and amplitude modu¬ lation component from the summation signal of Y " a and Y^ signal and having bandwidth of 0-fc* in the baseband.

As mentioned before, Y signal and Y^ signal are in the ϋ-fc* bandwidth with sampling rate of 2 fc* respec- tively, and these signal have phase difference of 90° at the signal bandwidth of color subcarrier. Accordingly, the YQW signal made by alternately sampling of the Y„ and Ytø signal has bandwidth of 0-2fc* with baseband amplitude modulation component (Y portion of Fig. 4 (A) ) from summa- tion of Y a and Y^ in 0-fc* bandwidth and phase modulation component (YH, YH " portion of Fig. 4(A)) from subtraction of Y * a and Y' b signal with central frequency of fc*, and thereby obtain a lower side band of 0-fc* (YH- portion of Fig. 4 (A) ) and a upper side band of fc* - fc*, which are of reverse phase relation due to the phase modulation. In that YQ/C signal is transmitted only a portion of the AM component composed of Y and YY signal summation through low pass filter 12 from Y(YQ) signal of 0-7.2 MHz Bandwidth, and a portion of phase modulation component in lower side band (at Fig. 4 (A) , Portion YH~) composed of difference signal of Y and Y h signal in 0-fc* handwidth, thus it is impossible to restore the YQW signal if the upper side band of the phase modulation signal is re-

stored.

Fig. 5 B illustrates a block diagram of demodulation circuit for Y"Q/C signal of the present invention, which includes Y" signal demodulating section comprised of low pass filter 25, sampling circuit 27, low pass filter 28, subtractor 29, mixer 30, band pass filter 31, adder 32, divider 32, and low pass filter 34, 35 for separating Y'Q signal from YQ/C signal, C signal demodulating section composed of mixer 6, 37 and low pass filter 38, 39 for separated C signal from band pass filter 26, burst signal demodulating section composed of sampling circuit 40, band pass filter 41, color subcarrier oscillator 42, phase shifter 43 and multiplier 44, and audio signal demodulat¬ ing section composed of frequency demodulator 45 and low pass filter 46 for demodulating the modulated audio signal separated through band pass filter 17.

In this circuit arrangement, the Y signal demodulation section operates such that low pass filter 25 produces Y" <a signal of 0-7.2 MHz from the YQ/C signal. The Y & signal is supplied with sampling circuit 27 and low pass filter 28 to produce the Y signal (Fig. 4 (A) ) by sampling rate of 2fc* based on the sampling signal located in midway of Y ' a and Y^ signal. This Y signal is sub¬ tracted (Y-YQ) in the subtractor 29, and lower side band signal of 0-7.2 MHz from the phase modulation signal by the difference signal of and Y^ is obtained, and there¬ after supplied with mixer 30 and band pass filter 31 to

restore upper side band from the phase modulation compo¬ nent by the signal difference of Y and Y ' b signal 10.7 MHz 17.9 MHz bandwidth based on the carrier frequency of fc*. The restored upper side band and the original Y * a signal is summed in adder 32 to produce YQW signal having non-restored bandwidth of 7.2 MHz-10.7 MHz from 0-7.2 MHz and 10.7-17.9 MHz bandwidth signal, this YQW signal is divided into Y signal component and Y^ signal component by divider 33 with dividing signal of 2fc*.

The loss of signal in 7. -10.7 MHz is related to separated Ye 0 l signal and its signal more than 7.2 MHz, thus

In order to enable the demodulated Y and YY signal to drive CRT, as shown in Fiε. 5 (D) to (F) , there is provid¬ ed a low pass filter 60 for obtaining low band component

of Y signal, a R, G, B from the separated R-Y " and B-Y si g ¬ nal, Cathode Ray Tube having 6 cathode electrode ' KR a ' KG a , KB & , KR b , KG b , B b ) to produce 2-Line electron beam through CRT drive stage 47-52 or having three common cathode electrode (KR, KG, KB) and two grid ' G ι a » G lb > supplied with separated R, G,B color signal and two lumi¬ nance Y , Y signal respectively to allow 2-Line scanning.
