Abstract
In a color television receiver, field rate sawtooth current waves are supplied to vertical deflection windings by a vertical deflection output amplifier. The series combination of a deflection current sampling resistor and a DC blocking capacitor, coupled between the low potential terminal of the vertical deflection windings and a point of reference potential, is traversed by the field rate sawtooth current waves. The voltage across the series combination, comprising the sum of a field rate sawtooth voltage component and a field rate parabolic voltage component, is used as the drive voltage for the input winding of a saturable reactor effecting side pincushion distortion correction. The deflection current representative voltage developed by the sampling resistor is also utilized for a linearizing feedback purpose. The capacitor also serves a filtering function for the energizing potential supplied to the output amplifier.
