This circuit was developed to limit the large negative pulses from radar QRM on
23cms ATV that are recovered video from a NE564 demodulator (or symular). These
pulses had been effecting the video amp DC levels, resulting in short periods
of no sync. The use of negative clipper after the de-emphasis network was not
used as that would allow the radar pulses to damage the video syncs, by
integrating them with the syncs before the clipper.
Using a complementry circuit (Inverted e.g. a T1=PNP, diode reversed, & the
Clipping in the buffer before de-emphasis was more effective. The effect of
loosing the sound subcarrier during radar clipping was un-noticeable.
The circuit takes the average buffered DC video level with R1 & C1. RV1 is used
to just get D1 to clip the high impedance base signal, when a white picture is
present by adjusting VR1.
Why don't U send an interesting bul?
