Abstract

A projection television receiver has a cathode ray tube with an electron gun for emitting an electron beam incident on a screen, an electromagnetic deflection yoke and an electromagnetic focusing coil. A horizontal deflection driving circuit is coupled to a horizontal deflection coil and provides deflection current to the horizontal deflection coil for scanning the beam repetitively on the screen. The focusing coil is driven from a current step-down transformer having a primary winding coupled in series with the horizontal deflection coil. A secondary winding of the transformer is coupled to the focusing coil for driving the focusing coil with a horizontal rate parabolic current. A capacitor-resistor circuit is coupled in parallel with the focusing coil and with the secondary winding of the transformer for adjusting a phase relationship of the parabolic current relative to the horizontal deflection current and for adjusting the amplitude of the parabolic current.
