    Abstract: A phase-locked loop (53) is provided for detecting the audio information from a television signal. A voltage controllable oscillator (VCO) (50) having a nominal oscillation frequency equal to the frequency difference between the intermediate frequency (IF) picture and sound carriers provides one input to a mixer (44) and a substantially unmodulated picture carrier is supplied as the other input to the mixer (44), which thereby provides a frequency translated output signal. A phase detector (48) has as its first input the output signal from the mixer (44) and as its second input the frequency modulated sound carrier. A lowpass filter (52) coupled between the output of the phase detector (48) and a control input to the VCO (50) completes the PLL. The detected audio information is provided at the output of the lowpass filter (52). The PLL can provide, according to another embodiment, a defect control signal which, when applied to compensation circuitry, reduces impulse noise effects in the video information.

    Abstract: A multiplier for multiplying the modulated sound and picture carriers to produce an intercarrier sound signal in a quasi-parallel sound channel of an IF section has a pair of anti-parallel connected diodes in a limiter for generating an amplitude limited version of the picture carrier. It has been discovered that the varying capacitance of the diodes with picture amplitude can cause phase shifts and hence phase modulation interference in the intercarrier signal. The latter is especially troublesome for stereo sound reproduction. To reduce such interference, a low value resistor is shunt coupled to the diodes to inhibit the capacitance variations of the diodes and resulting undesired phase modulation in the intercarrier sound signal.

    Abstract: A frequency translation phase-locked loop (PLL) is provided for detecting the audio information from a received television signal. The PLL includes a switching arrangement which, in a first position causes the loop to process the IF picture and sound carriers for detecting the audio information in an intercarrier type of detection method and, in a second position causes the loop to process the IF sound carrier for detecting the audio information without the use of the received picture carrier, in a "separate" (split-sound) type of audio detection method.
