Block diagram of monochrome TV transmitter

[ANSWERS CAN BE EXTENDED BY EXPLAINING FLOW OF SIGNALS]

[Q] Draw the block diagram of monochrome TV transmitter. Describe the


function of each block.

OR
An oversimplified block diagram of a monochrome television transmitter is shown
in Fig. The luminance signal from the camera is amplified and synchronizing
pulses added before feeding it to the modulating amplifier.

Synchronizing pulses are transmitted to keep the camera and the picture tube
beams in step. The allotted picture carrier frequency is generated by a crystal
controlled oscillator.

The continuous wave (CW) sine wave output is given large amplification before
feeding to the power amplifier where its amplitude is made to vary (AM) in
accordance with the modulating signal received from the modulating amplifier.
The modulated output is combined (see Fig.) with the frequency modulated (FM)
sound signal in the combining network and then fed to the transmitting antenna for
radiation

Explanation:-
A PAL colour TV transmitter consists of following three main sections.
1. Production of Luminance (Y) and Chrominance (U and V) signals
2. PAL encoder
3. Video and Audio modulators and transmitting antenna

Production of Luminance (Y) and Chrominance (U and V) signals:


Colour camera tube produces R, G and B voltages pertaining to the intensity of
red, green and blue colours respectively in pixels. The luminance signal Y is
obtained by a resistive matrix, using grassman's law.
Y=0.3R+0.59G+0.11B.

For colour section Y is inverted colours R&B obtained from the colour camera
tubes are added to it to get (R-Y) and (B-Y) colour difference signal. These signals
are weighted by two resistive matrix network which gives U & V signals as
U=0.493 (B-Y) & V=0.877(R-Y)

PAL encoder:
PAL switch which operates electronically at 7812.5Hz with the help of
bistable multivibrator and feeds the subcarrier to balanced modulator with phase
difference of +900 on one line and -900 on the next line.

The PAL encoder consists of a sub carrier generator and two balanced
modulator with filters to produce modulated subcarrier signal. These signals
are added vertically to give Chroma signal (C). Then Chroma signal is mixed with
Y signal along with sync. And blanking pulses to produce Colour Composite
Video Signal (CCVS).

Video and Audio modulators and transmitting antenna:


CCVS amplitude modulates the main video carrier. It is followed by a sharp
VSB filter to attenuate the LSB to give AMVSB signal for transmitter. Audio
signal modulates separate carrier. This modulation is FM type.
AMVSB video signal along with audio signal passes to the transmitting
antenna through Diplexer Bridge which is a wheat-stone's bridge.

According to the Block Diagram of Black and White Television Sets In a typical
black and white television receiver, the signal from the antenna is fed to the
tuner. Two channel selector switches – one for the VHF (very-high-frequency)
channels 2-13 and the other for the UHF (ultra-high-frequency) channels 14-69 -
are used. They connect circuits that are tuned to the desired channels and, also
discriminate against signals from undesired channels. These circuits also form part
of an amplifier, designed to add as little snow to the signal as possible.

The amplified signals from the desired channel are then passed to the mixer,
which transposes all the signal frequencies in the channel to different values, called
intermediate frequencies. The output of the tuner consists of all the signals in the
desired channel, but the intermediate channel is fixed in the frequency band from
41 to 47 MHz, no matter what channel is tuned in. This is kind of like those cable
television "set top" converters, that, regardless of what channel you’re watching,
always convert it to "channel 3" for your TV set.

From the tuner, the 41-47 MHz channel with all picture and sound information
present is passed successively through several additional amplifiers (from two to
four intermediate frequency, or IF, amplifiers), which provide most of the
amplification in the receiver. Their amplification is automatically adjusted, being
maximum on a weak signal and less on a strong signal. So far the receiver handles
the signals in the channel just like they would be received from the transmitter,
except for the shift to intermediate frequencies and the amplification.

The next stage is the video detector, which removes the high frequency carrier
signal and recovers the video signal. The detector also reproduces (at a lower
frequency) the sound carrier and its frequency variations. The sound signal is then
separated from the picture signal and passes through a frequency detector, which
recovers the audio signal. This signal is amplified further and fed to the
loudspeaker, where it re-creates the accompanying sound. The picture signal from
the video detector is used in the normal fashion for display on the CRT of the
television receiver.

the RF response in case of colour TV is kept more uniform than in monochrome

arrangement is similar to the AFC and can be switched off whenever manual
tuning is required.

The colour TV uses the inter carrier sound system with one difference. The sound
take-off point is at the last VIF stage immediately before the video detector. This is
done to avoid interference between the sound IF and the chroma signal.

According to Block Diagram of Colour Television Sets In a colour television


receiver, additional circuits are provided to deal with the colour.

The only difference between black and White Television set and colour Television
set is the IF circuit is the importance of bandwidth for colour receivers. Remember
that video frequencies around 3.58 MHz just show details in monochrome, but
these frequencies are essential for colour information. Without them, there is no
colour. This is why the fine tuning control on colour television sets must be tuned
exactly, or else the colour disappears, along with the higher resolution.

The sound is usually taken off before the video detector in colour sets, and a
separate converter is used for it, instead of taking it from the video detector. The
reason that this is done is to minimize a 920 KHz beat signal that can result
between the 3.58 MHz colour subcarrier and the sound carrier signal. This signal
would show up as interference in the television picture.
