Arrangement for automatic switching of the regulating speed of a phase regulating circuit

Claim 2

An arrangement for automatic switching of the regulating speed of a phase regulating circuit, comprising: an oscillator to generate synchronizing signals for the horizontal deflection of beams of electrons in a television receiver picture tube; and means for increasing the regulating speed of the phase regulating circuit within a synchronizing time window to an increasing extend up to a midpoint of the window for reducing noise effects at edges of the window; said means decreasing the regulating speed to a decreasing extend after midpoint, noise effects being substantially absent at said midpoint where the regulating speed is relatively high, the regulating speed being relatively low adjacent the ends of the synchronizing signal.

Claim 3

An arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein said means increases and decreases the regulating speed discontinuously.

Claim 4

An arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein said means increases and decreases the regulating speed continuously.

Claim 5

An arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein said means increases and decreases said regulating speed inside said synchronizing time window continuously and at different slopes.

Claim 6

An arrangement as defined in claim 4, wherein the slope of variation in regulating speed is always less steep at the edge of said synchronizing time window than at said midpoint.

Claim 7

An arrangement for automatic switching of the regulating speed of a phase regulating circuit comprising: a voltage-controlled oscillator; a phase-regulated loop for synchronizing said oscillator to the frequency of a television transmitter signal; divider means for dividing down the frequency of said oscillator; phase-comparison means for comparing an output of said divider means with said transmitter signal; filter means receiving deviations in phase and frequency of a control signal supplied by said phase-comparison means, said filter means shifting frequency and phase into a nominal state; two sources of constant current for operating said phase-comparison means; one of said current sources charging said filter means and the other one of said current sources discharging said filter means dependent by the negative edge of the oscillator output signal having a level determining whether said filter means is to be charged or discharged; switching means for charging and discharging said filter means when a temporal window generated by said oscillator coincides chronologically with a sychronizing pulse from an amplitude separator; means for switching the amplitude to a relatively high level from the edge of said window to the midpoint of said window and then switching the amplitude level down again, switching of the amplitude and thereby the regulating speed being increased to an increasing extent or decreased to a decreasing extent.

Claim 8

An arrangement for automatic switching of the regulating speed of a phase regulating circuit comprising: a voltage-controlled oscillator; a phase-regulated loop for synchronizing said oscillator to the frequency of a television transmitter signal; divider means for dividing down the frequency of said oscillator; phase-comparison means for comparing an output of said divider means with said transmitter signal; filter means receiving deviations in phase and frequency of a control signal supplied by said phase-comparison means, said filter means shifting frequency and phase into a nominal state; two sources of constant current for operating said phase-comparison means; one of said current sources charging said filter means and the other one of said current sources discharging said filter means dependent by the negative edge of the oscillator output signal having a level determining whether said filter means is to be charged or discharged; switching means for charging and discharging said filter means when a temporal window generated by said oscillator coincides chronologically with a sychronizing pulse from an amplitude separator; means for switching the amplitude to a relatively high level from the edge of said window to the midpoint of said window and then switching the amplitude level down again, switching of the amplitude and thereby the regulating speed being increased to an increasing extent or decreased to a decreasing extent.
