Abstract

Abstract A circuit for obtaining a focus voltage that varies with the final anode voltage has a rectifier, a resistor, and a capacitor connected to a horizontal output transformer, which is specially designed to be resonant at the fifth harmonic. The series arrangement of the diode and the capacitor is connected between primary and secondary windings of the transformer, namely the anode of the diode is connected to a tap on the primary, and the remaining end of the capacitor is connected to that end of the secondary winding to which a capacitor for the fifth harmonic tuning is connected. The other capacitor end is connected to a tap on the primary. The latter tap comprises a much smaller number of turns than the first-mentioned tap to which the anode of he diode is connected. The required focusing voltage is derived from the resistor which is arranged between the cathode of the diode and ground.
