Abstract
A ghost cancellation system includes a surface-wave device operable for developing a replica of the ghost component of a video signal, which replica is combined with the video signal to eliminate or cancel the ghost component. The surface-wave device comprises an input transducer responsive to a modulated video signal for launching uniform acoustic surface-waves along a path traversing a balanced pair of output transducers and impinging upon a reflector array. The reflector array includes means for initiating non-uniform surface-wave reflections suitable for causing the output transducers to develop an output electrical signal comprising the ghost replica.
