Abstract

Comb filter apparatus for comb filtering NTSC or video signals includes sampling circuitry to sample the video signal at 45 degrees relative to the I,Q or U,V axes. The sampled signal is coupled to delay circuitry arranged to concurrently provide video samples from three successive horizontal lines, designated top, middle and bottom. The video samples from the middle line are combined with samples alternately selected from the top and bottom lines to provide a comb filtered signal.
