Abstract
An improved cathode ray tube yoke assembly and cathode ray tube system is capable of reducing or eliminating cathode ray tube geometrical image distortions caused by an inherent non-linear relationship between magnetic deflection fields inside the tube and electron beam spot deflection. The yoke assembly comprises horizontal and vertical windings for producing horizontal and vertical deflection fields and one or more non-linear magnetic elements. The magnetic elements produce a non-linear relationship between driving currents and magnetic deflection fields inside the tube which substantially compensates for the inherent non-linear relationship between deflection fields and electron beam spot deflection. In the preferred embodiment, the inductances of the yoke windings remain constant during operation.
