Undesired damped oscillations occurring prior to or following an abrupt change in the luminance signal level and appearing as closely spaced multiple images on a television picture. Also results from the removal of signal components by a filter.

The electron beam upon changing from dark to light or vice versa bounces back and forth a few times. This bouncing could occur anywhere in the electronics and is often caused by or accentuated by a too high setting of the sharpness control.
