Abstract

Abstract The vertical deflection windings of a television receiver are coupled directly to the output of a push-pull amplifier comprising a complementary pair of electronic devices. Bipolar voltages for driving the complementary pair are derived from horizontal scansion signals by a pair of oppositely-poled secondary windings on the horizontal output transformer. In a preferred embodiment, a third secondary winding on the output transformer is used to derive a biasing voltage from horizontal scansion signals. The voltage thus derived is utilized to bias a sawtooth generator which supplies input signals to the push-pull amplifier. The signals produced by the sawtooth generator vary in amplitude as a function of the magnitude of the horizontal deflection current.
