International ClassH04N 009/83Foreign Application Priority Data1987-09-17 DEAbstractA luminance signal is frequency modulated with an FM carrier to generate a frequency modulated YFM signal having a frequency spectrum within a frequency band of e.g. 1.6 to 8 megahertz. A quadrature modulated PAL color signal is down-converted in a mixer to the empty frequency band below the YFM band and filtered by a Nyquist filter having a Nyquist slope centered on the mixing carrier frequency of e.g. 1 megahertz. The YFM and down-converted color signals are added and then recorded on magnetic tape. The frequency spectrum of the down-converted color signal has a vestigial sideband characteristic that permits the recording of a relatively wideband color signal in the luminance-free free frequency band of e.g. 0-1.2 megahertz.Other References
