Abstract

A color television channel that includes a video channel and at least one sound channel is converted by means of a low-IF converter from the RF band directly to the baseband by analog quadrature conversion. The quadrature output signals are digitized. A correcting stage eliminates the quadrature errors and forms a corrected quadrature pair which drives a video stage and a sound conversion stage. The sound conversion stage includes at least one sound channel converter which converts the low-IF sound channel to its baseband by another (digital) quadrature conversion.
