Abstract:
This signal detection method detects an output signal indicating data information contained at least in two sideband waves from an input signal having a carrier and at least two sideband waves accompanying the carrier. The method includes a cut off step (32) for cutting off a sideband wave positioned at the high frequency side or the low frequency side as compared to the carrier from the at least two sideband waves and a square detection step (33) for outputting an output signal by performing square detection of an input signal having one of the sideband waves which has been cut off.

Abstract:
In a magnetic recording method in which, for the purpose of tracking, a signal having a predetermined frequency is extracted from a reproduced FM recording signal recorded on a magnetic recording medium, and the magnetic head is brought to a position where the amplitude of the signal of predetermined frequency becomes substantially maxim; an FM recording signal recorded on a track of the recording medium is reproduced immediately after the recording, when dropout is detected in the recorded signal, a signal having a frequency other than the predetermined frequency is recorded on the same track in a relation superposed on the recorded signal, and the same recording signal as that recorded already on the dropout-including track is recorded on another track which may be the next adjacent track again.

Appareil ameliore de reduction du bruit dans un flux de donnees a frequence modulee du type utilisant un flux de reference d'une frequence predeterminee qui a ete soumis essentiellement au meme bruit. Dans un mode preferentiel de realisation de l'appareil, le flux de donnees est transforme par un premier discriminateur (52) en un premier signal d'une valeur proportionnelle a la frequence du flux de donnees, et le flux de reference est transforme par un second discriminateur (53) en un second signal qui possede une valeur proportionnelle au produit de la frequence du flux de reference soit une valeur de reaction (41). La valeur de reaction est derivee d'une combinaison des premier et second signaux dans un combinateur (44). L'une des utilisations importantes de l'appareil concerne les systemes d'enregistrement sur bande a modulation de frequence.

This invention relates to a crosstalk detecting apparatus for detecting crosstalk which possibly occurs when reading an image signal which has been FM-modulated and recorded on a recording medium, and more specifically, a crosstalk detecting apparatus which derives an amount of crosstalk from an adjacent track based on a signal read by a pickup in a simple construction. The cross-talk detecting apparatus according to the present invention is adapted to detect crosstalk during a period in which an identification signal recorded on a medium is being read therefrom, and comprises an FM-demodulator (1) for demodulating a signal read from the medium, an AM-demodulator (2) for reading the signal read from the medium, a multiplier circuit (4) for multiplying a signal outputted from the FM-demodulator (1) with a signal outputted from the AM-demodulator (3) and an averaging circuit (6) for averaging output values of the multiplier circuit (4).
Abstract:
This invention relates to a crosstalk detecting apparatus for detecting crosstalk which may occur upon reading an FM-modulated signal recorded on a recording medium. This crosstalk detecting apparatus outputs a crosstalk amount from an adjacent track based on a signal read by a pickup. On a medium from which this crosstalk detecting apparatus can detect crosstalk, an image signal and an identification signal are FM-modulated and recorded on each of three tracks adjacent to one another, and the FM-modulated identification signal is recorded on each of the three tracks such that initial phases of the FM-modulated identification signals are all made equal. Also, the crosstalk detecting apparatus comprises a timing pulse generator (3) for generating a pulse at a predetermined time within the identification signal period; a phase detecting means (4) for detecting the phase difference between the signal read from the central track and a crosstalk-free signal; and a sampling circuit (5) for sampling the output from the phase detecting means (4) when a timing pulse is generated by the timing pulse generator (3).
