Abstract
Abstract A television line deflection circuit for recording or display, comprising a main and an auxiliary deflection signal generator. The main deflection signal generator applies a line-periodic, pulse-shaped voltage to a series arrangement of a deflection coil and a transformer winding. Of a further transformer winding a first terminal is connected to an auxiliary deflection signal generator terminal carrying a varying voltage and a second terminal is connected via a diode to a terminal carrying a reference voltage. A capacitor may be provided in parallel with the diode. An auxiliary deflection voltage which varies in a desired manner results in the desired scan, it being possible to employ for linearity correction a voltage which varies step-wise at intervals during line scanning periods and is, for example, generated by a microprocessor.
