Hi,
Thanks for the comments on the code ....
1. yes we can use a FIR notch filter but we have to be careful that
the color subcarrier part of the signal (which is close to the audio
carrier) is not supressed ... I think with just a zero placed around
audio carrier this may be difficult. I will however test the
assumption and let everyone know
2. I saw the PLL code for HDTV sometime back .. I think we can adapt
that to our needs ...
3. Also we do not need a PLL for the color subcarrier ... we need it
only for the downconversion ... for the color subcarrier we just need
an estimate of the instantaneous frequency ... after that we can use
this to calculate the instataneous phase value and decode the color
.... The PLL for downconversion is however required for the proper
functioning of the comb filter ....
Regards
Prateek
