A Three-dimensional Magnetic Field Mapping System for Deflection Yoke of Cathode-Ray Tube

In this paper, we introduce an efficient three-dimensional magnetic field mapping system for a Deflection Yoke (DY) in Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT). A three-axis Hall probe mounted in a small cylindrical bar and three-stepping motors placed in a non-magnetic frame were utilized for the mapping. Prior to the mapping starts, the inner contour of DY was measured by a laser sensor to make a look-up table for inner shape of DY. Three-axis magnetic fields are then digitized by a three-dimensional Hall probe. The results of the mapping can be transformed into various output formats such as multi pole harmonics of magnetic fields. Field shape in one, two and three- dimensional spaces can also be displayed. In this paper, we present the features of this mapping device and some analysis results.
