  • Patent number: 4112460
    Abstract: There is disclosed a simplified bias and gain adjust system for a color cathode ray tube wherein, by a minimum of adjustments, the bias for an in-line color cathode ray tube may be adjusted to achieve color balance between the CRT's three electron guns and to achieve a maximum voltage difference between the CRT's G.sub.2 electrode and the cathode element of the dominant electron gun of the color CRT. In particular, the system includes a chrominance matrix amplifier including an amplifying element in the form of a transistor for each of the color-difference signals provided by the chrominance demodulator(s) of the color television system; the color-difference signal is applied, illustratively, to the base of each such transistor, and a luminance signal Y is applied to the emitter of each such transistor element.

  • Patent number: 4100578
    Abstract: There is disclosed an AFT summing circuit for a varactor-type tuning system and in particular for such a tuning system including a UHF tuner and a VHF tuner. A tuning voltage derived from a suitable source indicative of the desired channel or station to be tuned is applied to one input of the AFT summing circuit, while an error signal as derived from an AFT circuit is applied to the other input, to be summed together in a manner whereby the effect of the AFT signal may be adjusted without affecting the tuning voltage. The AFT circuit output is applied at a first level when the VHF tuner is operative, and at a second attenuated level when the UHF tuner is operative. In particular, the AFT summing circuit includes first and second impedance elements for applying the AFT circuit output to first and second input terminals of an operational amplifier, and a third impedance element for applying the tuning voltage to the second input terminal.
