Amplitude Correction

To vary horizontal amplitude, it is necessary to vary a sawtooth wave current flowing into the deflection coil. These are two methods to vary the current; a method which varies LH by connecting a variable inductance L in series with the deflection yoke, and a method which varies power supply voltage (across S-character capacitor) for the deflection yoke.

As the DPC circuits is used in the this chassis, the later method which varies the deflection yoke power supply volt- age by modifying the bus data is used.

Pictures are expanded at left and right ends of the screen

even if a sawtooth current with good linearity flows in

the deflection coil when deflection angle of a picture

tube increases. This is because projected image sizes

on the screen are different at screen center area and

the circumference area as shown in Fig. 9-7. To sup-

press this expansion at the screen circumference, it is

necessary to set the deflection angle q1 to a large value

(rapidly deflecting the electron beam) at the screen

center area, and to set the deflection angle q2 to a small

value (scanning the electron beam slowly) at the cir-

cumference area as shown in Fig. 9-7.

In the horizontal output circuit shown in Fig. 9-8, ca-

pacitor CS connected in series with the deflection coil

L is to block DC current. By properly selecting the

value of CS and by generating a parabolic voltage de-

veloped by integrating the deflection coild current

across the S capacitor, and by varying the deflection

yoke voltage with the voltage, the scanning speed is

decreased at beginning and end of the scanning, and

increased at center area of the screen. The S curve cor-

rection is carried out in this way, thereby obtaining

pictures with good linearity.
