Abstract: Interference in a television receiver due to variations in the frequency of a "920 KHz beat" frequency obtained from the difference in frequency between the 4.5 MHz intercarrier frequency and the 3.58 MHz color subcarrier frequency and detected by the receiver's video detector is reduced by using a color television transmitter having an aural oscillator using a crystal of a smaller size, an "AT" cut and higher frequency followed by frequency division of the oscillator output. The resulting output signal has improved frequency stability and is used as a basis for aural modulation in the television transmitter.
