Abstract:
A cathode-ray tube, such as a color television picture tube of the feedback or sensing type including a viewing screen comprising an array of different color light-emitting phosphor strips, and indexing means comprising a periodic series of spaced indexing strip-like areas extending parallel to the phosphor strips. The elements of one of the indexing strip-like areas or the spaces therebetween alternate in width across the screen between two different values. The elements of the other of the indexing strip-like areas and the spaces therebetween are of substantially equal width. In operation, beam-produced control signals from the indexing strip-like areas are processed to produce a periodic signal wave, which is used to synchronize the application of color signals to the beam with the instantaneous position of the beam on the screen.
Abstract:
A comb filter apparatus is provided with means for equalizing the delayed and undelayed signal levels at the inputs to the adding or subtracting matrix, whereby maximum cancellation and reinforcement of the undesired and desired signals is effected. An input signal is coupled to an additive or subtractive matrix by way of an undelayed signal path and a delayed signal path. The delayed and undelayed signals at the inputs to the matrix are each coupled to a detector by way of a bandpass filter, which pass frequencies at which the combing of the signal is most critical. The detectors detect the levels of the input signals and apply the detected levels as two inputs to a difference circuit. The two signal levels are compared in the difference circuit to develop a gain control signal. The gain control signal is utilized to control the gain of a gain controllable stage which is coupled in series with one of the signal paths thereby equalizing the levels of the input signals to the combining matrix.
