1. A stereo signal separation system comprising:
- means for mixing an input stereo signal having a lower frequency sum component, an upper frequency double sideband suppressed carrier difference component and a pilot frequency at a frequency between the sum and difference components with a mixer frequency which is a multiple of the pilot signal frequency to produce a first mixer output and with a phase quadrature component of the mixer frequency to produce a second mixer output;
means for combining the first and second mixer outputs to eliminate the sum component; and
means for filtering the output of the combining means to recover the difference component.

Abstract
A stereo signal separation system for separating the L+R and L-R components of a BTSC stereo signal mixes the BTSC signal with a multiple of the pilot frequency. To recover the L+R component the mixer output is combined with the input BTSC signal, and to recover to L-R component the mixer output is combined with a second mixer output shifted ninety degrees. The combined output is low pass filtered to recover the desired component.
