Abstract

Extended definition television (EDTV) signals including a compatible composite wideband signal and a separate helper or extended definition signal are combined, for example, for recording purposes, using frequency multiplexing techniques. The helper signal is applied to a modulator, which produces a suppressed carrier modulated signal, to frequency shift the helper signal to a spectral band above the frequency band occupied by the compatible composite wideband signal. The frequency shifted and wideband signal are then added to form the combined signal.
