Abstract
In a magnetically deflected cathode ray tube (CRT) display, the deflection coil is connected in series with two separate amplifiers. The first amplifier provides the main deflection current and is designed for high efficiency. The second amplifier is a linear device having relatively low efficiency and is made capable of supplying only a fraction of the output of the first amplifier. The linear amplifier is provided with deflection correction signals so that it modulates the deflection of the CRT in a desired manner. The correction signals can produce sweep linearization, convergence correction and raster shape control.
