Abstract

Video noise reduction is achieved by limiting the loop response bandwidth in a phase locked loop demodulator with a high-pass RC network connected between two oppositely phased video signals in the phase detector for out-phasing a high frequency component of the loop response bandwidth. Easy user adjustment allows viewable video images to be obtained from very noisy signals in deep fringe reception areas.
