Design factors for transistorized television deflection circuits

Widespread acceptance of all-transistor television receivers still requires technical advances in many areas, including the important ones of cost and reliability. A market application as significant as television demands reasonable cost along with excellent performance. This paper discusses recent advances in the development of economical high-energy television-deflection circuits for both vertical and horizontal scanning. Problems pertinent to over-all scanning systems are discussed from a generalized viewpoint. The specific application of newly developed, potentially low-cost RCA power transistors designed for the deflection functions is then described.
