Colour Measurement Techniques for Colour TV Receivers

Abstract

The performance specifications for monochrome TV receivers are already available in the form of ISI and CCIR documents. However, in the case of colour TV receivers (CTVR) no performance specifications are available for reference or comparison. In this article, measurement techniques of various parameters of colour TV have been discussed in detail and actual performance specifications of CTVR designed and developed at CEERI have been given.
