New Frequency Interleaving CCD Color Television Camera

A new solid-state color television camera has been developed using a frequency interleaving color signal pickup system. Frequency interleaved modulated color signals combined in the same frequency bandwidth were obtained as output signas from a CCD image sensor and were electrically separated by a comb filter using 1H delay line. High resolution and fine color fidelity pictures, practical for home use, were obtained using only one interline transfer CCD having 500 V x 400 H picture elements.
