Abstract: A color television signal generating apparatus comprises a color-resolving striped filter, in a camera tube, for separating the output signal of the camera tube into required signals. Detecting means detects the envelopes of specific positive wave and negative wave signals thus separated. The output of the camera tube is a superimposed signal of a direct wave signal containing signals of three primary colors, of additional mixed colors, and a high-band component signal comprising a group of modulated color signals. This camera output signal results from the amplitude modulation of a carrier wave responsive to filter stripes in the color-resolving striped filter. The carrier wave components have a high harmonic relation relative to two primary color signals. The separating means comprises first separating means for separating the direct signal from the above mentioned superimposed signal and second separating means for separating the high-band component signal.
