The Color Signal Form of Sine-Squared Testing in Television — A Technical Note

C. A. Siocos

A Color Test Signal having luminance and chrominance components which are sine-squared pulses with long half-amplitude duration* has been proposed in the past and has given rise, lately, to considerable interest.1-8 Since it can be taken as a complete color signal, having a luminance component and a chrominance subcarrier with carrier-suppressed amplitude modulation, and in view of the success of the sine-squared pulse testing techniques for monochrome television, the color test signal in question would appear quite attractive. With its recent correlation to subjective impairments8 and introduction of a K-rating factor, the attractiveness of this test signal is bound to increase considerably.
