Abstract
Abstract The retrace pulse voltage developed by a horizontal deflection generator is applied to the primary winding of a flyback transformer. The voltage across a high voltage winding of the flyback transformer is rectified and filtered to produce an intermediate, DC high voltage. The voltage developed across the flyback transformer primary winding produces a leakage flux that links the winding turns of a coil in a dynamic focus circuit. The coil and a capacitor form an LC resonant circuit that waveshapes the induced voltage in the coil to produce a sinusoidal or an approximately parabolically shaped horizontal frequency voltage. The intermediate DC high voltage and the parabolically shaped horizontal frequency voltage are summed to produce the focus voltage.
