Test equipment for a teletex television receiver

Abstract

This test equipment permits a testing of the demodulator of a teletex television receiver. It consists of a digital test signal generator, the output of which is connected to the HF input of the television, and a receiver, the input of which is connected to the video output of said receiver. The generator tramsmits pseudo-random data packets having a first frequency of binary elements, with two double-intervaled binary elements at two predetermined instants t.sub.1 and t.sub.2 for each packet. The receiver has a data regeneration circuit whose threshold varies line by line from a maximum value to a minimum value. The sampling clock of the receiver is at a second frequency lower than the first by the ratio (n-2)/n, where n is equal to the integral ratio of the first frequency to the line frequency of the television. A suitable means insures resynchronization of the sampling clock at the middle of each line. A receiving circuit for the pseudo-random data detects the errors which are transmitted to the video input of the television.
