Abstract
An electron gun as for a cathode ray tube includes a plurality of electrodes biased at different potentials to electrostatically shape and focus the one or more electron beams produced thereby. A dynamic focus grid is driven by a substantial ac voltage signal at the horizontal line rate, which signal is undesirably coupled through parasitic capacitance to an intermediate grid located between the dynamic focus grid and the gun anode. A resistive biasing network includes a high value resistance to divide the anode potential to develop bias potential for the intermediate grid and a capacitance to ac couple the intermediate grid to ground potential. The resistance is formed in a single layer ceramic circuit and the capacitance is formed on the single layer ceramic circuit or on the tube neck. The ceramic circuit may be located in the tube neck on or with the electron gun.
