of a raster scan.- [m^2 I(t)+m^2 Q(t)]^1 /^2 : Saturation or color intensity. A very deep red is saturated while red
diluted with white to give a light pink is nearly unsaturated. - tan−^1 [mQ(t)/mI(t)]: Hue or tint.
- SI(t),SQ(t): Filtered chrominance signals ofmI(t),mQ(t) by low-pass filters.SI(t) modulates
a color subcarrier at a frequency of 3.579545 MHz±10 Hz via DSB.
