A television ghost signal cancellation system is provided which compensates for the phase of the ghost carrier signal. A video signal containing a ghost signal component is applied to a variable delay line, which delays the video signal by an amount of time equal to the difference in time between the appearance of the direct video signal and its corresponding ghost signal components. The delayed video signal is modulated by a carrier signal and demodulated by a phase-shifted version of the carrier signal. The carrier signal is phase-shifted for the demodulator by an amount which compensates for the phase difference between the picture carriers of the direct and ghost signals. The demodulated signal is inverted and its amplitude adjusted to produce a pseudo-ghost signal which is substantially equal in amplitude but opposite in polarity to the ghost signal components. The pseudo-ghost signal is summed with the original video signal to cancel the ghost signal components, thereby producing a deghosted video signal. |
