toroidal deflection yoke
magnetic deflection yoke wound on a toroid core containing a split winding; one-half winding placed on opposite sides of the toroid. The yoke winding interconnection creates an opposing flux from each winding within the toroid and an aiding flux within the toroid inner diameter that causes the deflection of the electron beam. The toroid deflection yoke has a low inductance for compatibility with semiconductor deflection systems and permits precise control of the winding placement to obtain a uniform magnetic deflection field. A horizontal toroidal deflection yoke, in combination with the in-line electron gun, permits the construction of an inherent self-converging color TV display system.
