Abstract

A visual indication of the relationship between first and second electrical signals, such as the left and right channel signals in a stereophonic audio system, is provided through use of a video vectorscope. The first and second signals are used to modulate the amplitude of two sinusoidal waves at a subcarrier frequency and in phase quadrature, so as to synthesize the chrominance portion of a composite video signal. The two modulated sine waves are additively combined, and the resulting signal is applied to the input terminal of the vectorscope.
