. In Germany October 8,1936 f e e v e I Alli-aims; (olyzso zvj The invention relates to a device for produc-- ing a rectilinear magnetic deflection of a cathode ray, suchas required in the case of television, both for the line as well as the image deflection.
It is known to use for this purpose an electromagnet the winding of which is fed by the anode current of an electronic tube controlled on its grid side by means of a linear relaxation oscillation. In first approach the plate current is then also chronologically linear, and consequently also the magnetic deflection. It is known in practice, however, that the precision necessary for television purposes cannot be obtained with this simple connection system. There occur a crowding together at one and a distention at the other edge of the image.
It is the object of the invention to improve the rectilinearity of the deflection by arranging the device so that the impedance of the winding of the electromagnet is small as compared with the inner resistance of the tube. Further improvements are described in the following specification.
Further objects of the invention will be best understood by reference to the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which is a diagram of the connection according to the invention.
In the drawing [2 is the cross-section of a Braun tube surrounded by the electromagnet l3 preferably provided within the tube with pole pieces l4 leaving between them but a small gap for the ray. The symmetrical windings 2a and 2b of the electromagnet are connected to the anode of the amplifier tube I. This tube is provided with a screening grid as only in this case the condition described above is able to be fulfilled. The'control grid of tube I is connected to a relaxation oscillator of a well known kind consisting of a grid controlled gas-filled thermionic tube 9, charging resistance [0 and storage condenser 5.
In order to withhold from the winding 2 the direct current the latter, in a well known manner, is conducted through the anode resistance 4 Whilst a large condenser 3 is connected in series to the winding. The value of this resistance has to be large as compared with the impedance of the electromagnet. but small as compared with the inner resistance of tube l the impedance of the electromagnet, however, has to be small as compared with the inner resistance of the tube.
Notwithstanding these measures there is still a distortion of the rectilinearity to .be observed, owing to the factthat the'combined anode resistance is no longer a'purc inductance, but a mixture of resistance and self-induction. This remaining distortion may be compensated by giv- 5 ing to the relaxation curve which is linear in itself an inverse distortion to render prominent its higher harmonics. This may be produced, for example, by providing a high frequency coupling between the relaxation condenser 5 and the grid of the tube I. This coupling consists in its most simple form of a resistance potentiometer 6, I, the feed branch 6 of which is bridged by a condenser 8 for the higher relaxation harmonics. A calculation shows that the correction of the non-linearity is exactly attained only in respect of quite a certain time constant 6, 8 and potential distribution 6, 1.
Practical values are, for example:
T6=.5 megohms, 1"!=.5 megohms, ca=10,000 cm. at r4=5. 00 ohms.
' in relation to that of the coil (electrolytic condenser of 10-20 mf.).
Owing to the comparatively high resistance values it is necessary in'practice to shield the grid complex towards the outside along the broken line H.
I claim:
