Abstract

A SECAM decoder comprises an input receiving a chrominance subcarrier (SP); first and second outputs delivering respectively the decoded blue (B2) and red (R2) signals; a first PLL phase demodulator (30) receiving the subcarrier (SP), operative only during the blue lines; a second PLL phase demodulator (31) receiving the subcarrier, operative only during the red lines; a first adder (32) receiving the output signal (B1) of the first demodulator (30) and this same signal delayed by a line period to deliver the decoded blue signal (B2); an adder (33) receiving the output signal (R1) of the second demodulator (31) and this same signal delayed by a line period to deliver the red decoded signal (R2).
