    Abstract: Chroma processing circuitry for a color television receiver wherein nominally derived primary color signals in accordance with extracted reference information in a first selectable mode of operation may be suitably modified in a second selectable mode of operation to minimize the effect of any phase errors otherwise readily discernible as undesirable departures in fleshtone hues. The referenced modification comprises a predetermined reduction in green-purple color information relative to derived luminance and orange-cyan information. Three embodiments are disclosed. In one such embodiment employing I and Q demodulation techniques, the chroma signal as applied to the input of the included Q demodulator is selectively reduced by associated control circuitry; the signal information along the Q axis or demodulation angle representing essentially green-purple color information. In another embodiment, employing convention (R-Y) and (B-Y) color difference demodulators, the desired reduction in green-purple information is provided by suitable alteration of the respective phase delays effected in components of the reference signal selectively applied to the demodulators which in turn alters each of the demodulation angles at which such demodulators operate. In still another embodiment, appropriate modification of the final primary color signals is accomplished by selected changes in the circuit parameters of an output matrix network associated with the color difference demodulators.

    Abstract: A solid-state matrix amplifier network is set forth and described for selectively combining three color-difference signals from a chrominance demodulator with a luminance signal to form suitable color-control drive signals for a three-gun image reproducer of a color television receiver. The matrix amplifier network includes a novel gain adjustment arrangement for obtaining correct grey scale tracking which does not interact with the controls effecting DC setup for the image reproducer nor alter the color of black established during such setup procedures.

    Abstract: A subcarrier regeneration stage and control arrangement for a color television receiver includes a 3.58 MHz. crystal-controlled oscillator, a phase detector and a novel voltage-controllable phase shift network in the feedback loop of the oscillator for maintaining the oscillator in phase synchronism with a received NTSC reference burst signal. The phase shift network comprises a pair of transistors differentially gain-controlled by the phase detector output voltage and having their collectors coupled to respective ends of a passive phase shift circuit such that the output from one transistor is phase-advanced and the output from the other transistor is phase-retarded. The oscillator signal is concurrently applied to the emitters of the two transistors and translated through the network with a net phase shift dependent on the detector controlled gain differential between the two transistors. Also incorporated in the regeneration stage is a hue control circuit employing a second pair of transistors differentially gain-controlled by a DC control voltage from a viewer-adjustable hue control to vary the phase of the oscillator signal as applied to the demodulator. This second pair of transistors is forward biased by a control circuit during the intervals between synchronizing bursts to disable the phase detector, thereby minimizing drift and preventing the detector from responding to chrominance information signals and noise, and is back-biased during reference burst intervals to prevent translation of the oscillator output signal to the demodulator during these periods. Because the regeneration stage utilizes differentially paired transistors throughout and a minimum of inductive components, it is particularly well suited for construction in microelectronic form.
