Abstract:
A linearity correction circuit for a cathode-ray tube incorporating a horizontal sweep generator which is responsive to a direct coupled, amplified, inverted and rectified version of its output signal, which when integrated by the horizontal sweep generator, causes a decrease in the amplitude of the horizontal sweep signal near the ends of the sweep where the nonlinearity is greatest. No reactive components are utilized in the feedback network enabling the circuit to be reset at any time during a sweep or held in the reset position for any length of time greater than the minimum recovery time of the sweep generator with no effect on the shape of the next sweep.
