Abstract

A television signal transmission system is improved to be able to transmit a video signal having a frequency band wider than existing transmission frequency bands while maintaining compatibility with existing television systems. On the sending side, a wide-band luminance signal is frequency-shifted and inserted into a vacant frequency spectrum of a television signal in the existing television systems before transmission.
