In this example, color signal superimposed on a high level luminance signal has been attenuated. The bottom figure shows the same waveform after passing through a high pass filter to facilitate measuring. (CVS is filtered out leaving only color signal).

Any color can be totally described by luminance, saturation and hue. When the gain of the reproduced color signal is lower than that of luminance, the perceived colors are paler than their originals. Conversely, when the gain of the reproduced color signal is higher than the luminance, the perceived

To measure the percentage of differential gain, the standard sawtooth signal with superimposed color carrier is used (4.43 MHz in PAL and 3.58 MHz. in NTSC) The sawtooth represents the CVS with all possible levels between 0.3 V to 1 V. The waveforms are shown in the accompanying

All of the above circuitry include active circuit devices. These devices are only approximately linear devices. In particular, amplification factor is not constant for all levels. The amplification factor may decrease or increase as the input level increases. This is known as gain

DG is a problem both in NTSC and PAL. But PAL (phase alternating at line rate) is more sensitive to this kind of distortion. PAL averages phase differences of color signal in two consecutive lines.

However, in practice this goal is almost never attained. The amplification factor of color signal is always slightly different than that of CVS. (The color signal is superimposed on CVS).
529: 788: 279:. In system specifications, the nonlinearity in percentage is almost always specified. It must be under a tolerable level depending on the required sensitivity of the system. 569: 781: 1215: 774: 1245: 800: 46: 347: 112: 93: 1130: 293: 188: 65: 1460: 1294: 700:{\displaystyle {\mbox{f(t)}}={\frac {1}{2}}(\sin(\omega t+\alpha )+\sin(\omega t-\alpha ))=\sin(\omega t)\cdot \cos(\alpha )} 50: 1265: 1094: 72: 1337: 1038: 808: 1235: 1135: 1073: 861: 851: 846: 841: 831: 826: 821: 816: 79: 489: 211:

For example, a differential phase of 10° introduces an additional gain loss of 2%.
