Beam-Landing Errors and Signal-Output Uniformity of Vidicons
The uniformity of signal output from a vidicon is profoundly affected by the beam-landing characteristics that result when the tube is operated in present deflecting and focusing systems. Beam-landing errors change the applied voltage on the photoconductor as a function of the deflection angle and thus determine, to a great extent, the uniformity characteristics of the signal output of these tubes. A comparison of the signal-output characteristics of the various vidicon types is made and related to the specific types of applications in which each tube will find its best usage.
