A system study has been conducted on an adaptive transversal filter Ghost Canceller to achieve system optimization, and prototype ghost cancellers have been conducted on a trial basis. The results of tests showed that: (1) a Ghost Canceller for picture signals using an LSI CCD transversal filter could improve the quality of TV pictures by more than one grade in a five‐grade subjective evaluation against multiple ghost images of up to a 12‐μs delay time; and (2) a non‐CCD and totally digitalized Ghost Canceller for Teletext signals has shown a significant improvement in reducing strong short‐delay time ghost echoes and equalizing waveform distortion. This paper clarifies the system structure and the design method for both of the cancellers and shows the practical usefulness of the Ghost Cancellers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
