Abstract
A vertical deflection system for a CRT is disclosed which has a pair of traveling wave deflectors disposed opposite each other across a path of beam from gun to target. Each deflector has a helical conductor in the for of a strip of sheet metal coiled around an elongate core of insulating material. For the provision of a CRT capable of handling a wide band of frequencies, the dispersion characteristic of each traveling wave conductor is optimized through adjustment of the specific dielectric constant of the insulating core. Preferred values of the specific dielectric constant are specified in relation to the characteristic impedance of the traveling wave conductor.
Claims2
A traveling wave deflection system having a pair of deflectors disposed opposite each other across a path of an electron beam, each deflector comprising:
- (a) a core of electrically insulating material extending along the electron beam path;
- (b) a helical conductor coiled around the core;
- and
- (c) a grounded conductor mounted to the core and disposed inside the helical conductor and extending along the electron beam path;
- the core having a specific dielectric constant determined for an optimum dispersion characteristic of the deflector and wherein the helical conductor of each deflector is partly received in positioning depressions formed in the core, whereby capacitances between adjacent turns of the helical conductor are controllable by the specific dielectric constant of the core.
