摘要:
A video signal processing apparatus includes a digital vertical filter for passing a signal in a specific vertical high frequency band of a digitized input luminance signal and a digital nonlinear processing circuit having a nonlinear input-output characteristic for nonlinearly processing the signal from the vertical filter so that one of a luminance signal component and a noise component of the signal from the vertical filter is suppressed while the other is maintained as is or so that the luminance signal component is emphasized while the noise component is maintained as is or suppressed. The apparatus also includes an arithmetic operation circuit for arithmetically synthesizing the digitized input luminance signal and an output signal of the nonlinear processing circuit so that the noise component is canceled or the luminance signal is increased, thereby obtaining a digitized luminance signal having an improved signal-to-noise ratio in the specific vertical high frequency band.

A dropout compensating apparatus used in a video signal recording/reproducing apparatus employs a digital delay circuit such as a digital memory. An input video signal is converted to a digital signal by an A/D converter. The digital signal is applied via a first switch to the digital delay circuit where it is delayed by a specified period. The delayed digital signal is converted to a delayed video signal by a D/A converter. The delayed video signal is applied to a second switch. A dropout detector produces a dropout detected signal when a dropout occurs in the input video signal. The first switch normally passes the digital signal from the A/D converter and is responsive to the dropout detected signal for passing the delayed digital signal from the digital delay circuit back to the digital delay circuit. The second switch normally passes the input video signal as it is and is also responsive to the dropout detected signal for passing the delayed video signal from the D/A converter.

In a recording and reproducing apparatus having a simultaneous reproducing function, an adaptive filter outputs a pseudo crosstalk signal which approximates to frequency characteristics of crosstalk components leaking from recording data into a reproduced signal, and a subtractor subtracts the pseudo crosstalk signal from the reproduced signal, thereby canceling the crosstalk components

A signal detection apparatus detects original information from a PCM signal transmitted through a communication channel or reproduced from a recording medium. The apparatus includes: a first equalizer for equalizing the PCM signal so as to decrease intersymbol interference, a clock regenerator for regenerating a clock signal synchronized with a timing of the digital information from an output of the first equalizer; an amplitude detector for detecting an amplitude from the output of the first equalizer and the clock signal; a second equalizer for equalizing the output of the first equalizer to a partial-response equalized signal, and a detecting circuit for detecting the original digital information at a clock timing of the clock signal from the partial-response equalized signal. Accordingly, without being influenced by the amplitude fluctuations of the signal, the original digital information can be detected at a low bit error rate.

A dropout detecting apparatus comprises a phase conversion circuit for converting an input signal into two signals which are different in phase by .pi./2 from each other, two squaring circuits for obtaining squares of the two signals respectively, an addition circuit for adding the two square signals, and an amplitude comparator for comparing the amplitude of an output signal of the addition circuit with a reference value. The output signal of the addition circuit becomes the square of the envelope of the input signal regardless of the phase of the input signal.

A digital non-linear pre-emphasis/de-emphasis apparatus is arranged such that a frequency band of a high-pass filter for extracting a high frequency component signal of an input signal is varied according to the input signal by feeding back the output signal of the high-pass filter through a first non-linear input/output circuit. The first non-linear input/output circuit multiplies the output signal of the high-pass filter by a coefficient which is a function of the output signal of the high-pass filter to obtain a feedback signal. The output signal of the high-pass filter is also applied to a second non-linear input/output circuit which multiplies the output signal of the high-pass filter by a coefficient which is a function of the output signal of the high-pass filter. An output signal of the second non-linear input/output circuit is mixed with the input signal by an operation circuit to obtain an output signal which is non-linearly emphasized or de-emphasized.

A magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus is provided in which among diametrically oppositely disposed heads, a recording head and an erasing head of a same channel are disposed adjacently to each other. The recording head is disposed so as to precede by two tracks the erasing head with respect to a direction of cylinder rotation, when insert-editing, using a reproduced signal obtained by the recording head, erase and record timing setting and head tracking are performed and an erasing current is not applied during the reproduction by the recording head. The reproducing heads are disposed so as to be angularly apart by about 90 degrees from the recording and erasing heads, and a rotary transformer for reproduction is applied with a shield measure and then, formed as a core independently at an upper portion of the cylinder. In addition, more narrow tracks are compatibly reproduced by the recording head.

A digital modulating/demodulating apparatus includes a demodulator for demodulating a modulated signal into a demodulated positional signal in response to a receipt of the modulated signal, a decoder for decoding the demodulated positional signal into a digital signal of N bits. A previous signal point on the constellation plane is defined by a previous demodulated positional signal and a current signal point on the constellation plane is defined by a current demodulated positional signal. The decoder outputs a digital signal of N bits, based on en amplitude and a phase of the previous signal point and the amplitude and the phase of the current signal point.
摘要:
An apparatus for demodulating and decoding a multi-level amplitude modulation signal used to convey digital data, such as a QAM signal, having amplitude modulated carrier components differing in phase. The apparatus derives demodulated data values from that signal, and derives from average values of sets of these data values a set of compensated reference point data respectively corresponding to signal reference points of the multi-level modulation signal which are expressible as a symbol constellation in the I-Q plane. The compensated reference point data are used to obtain correct digital code values from the demodulated data, even if there is considerable distortion of the multi-level amplitude modulated signal, as is the case for such a signal when recorded and reproduced from a magnetic recording medium.
