Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a clamp signal being free from a distortion by applying a DC voltage to the base of a clamping transistor only in a sync signal period. CONSTITUTION:At the time of sync signal, a split voltage by a resistance 11 and a resistance 12 is applied to the base of a transistor 15, and a clamping capacitor 18 is charged. In a sync signalperiod, a voltage across a resistance 19 is constant by a minute current i2 flowing through a transistor 16, therefore, since there is no influence exerted on the AC potential (namely, signal), the distortion is eliminated in a signal period T, said signal becomes equal to an input signal except the sync signal period, and it can be clamped with high accuracy.
