Line 6:
In [[Television program|television]], unlike monophonic radio, at least two signals should be transmitted; [[audio signal|audio]] (AF) and [[video signal|video]] (VF) signals.
 
Transmitting those signals by means of separate [[transmitters]] and [[Antenna (radio)|antenna systems]] is a very costly solution, because every stage must be used twice, one for AF and one for VF. Two separate transmitters, a high power combiner and a common antenna system, known as the [[split sound system]], is also quite costly. But if the signals are combined at an earlier stage, the number of costly outer stages is reduced.
 
The same logic also applies to [[television receiver|receiver]] sets. If the modulated signal is separated just before the [[Cathode ray tube|picture tube]] the number of separate stages for AF and VF is minimumminimized.
 
This common signal processing system is known as the intercarrier system.
