    摘要: A servo write head is provided and is configured to simultaneously write at least two servo patterns in respective servo bands on linear magnetic tape. Centerlines of the servo patterns are substantially uniformly spaced in the lateral direction. In addition, the servo patterns of all adjacent respective servo bands are displaced relative to each other in a longitudinal direction by an amount that is related to a length of a servo frame and a type of the servo patterns.

    摘要: A fully synchronous longitudinal position (LPOS) detection system is provided for improving the reliability of servo channels in tape systems. The system is based on the interpolation of the servo channel output signal, which is sampled by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) at a fixed sampling rate, using a clock at a nominal frequency, so that interpolated signal samples are obtained at a predetermined fixed rate, independent of tape velocity. This predetermined fixed rate is defined in terms of samples per unit of length, as opposed to samples per unit of time, which is the measure of the ADC sampling rate. The resolution with which the servo channel signal is obtained at the interpolator output is thus determined by the step interpolation distance.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for detecting L-bit sync words occurring at N-bit intervals in PPM-encoded servo pattern read signals read in magnetic tape drives. A soft output detector processes the PPM-encoded servo pattern read signal to produce a series of soft output samples corresponding to respective bits encoded in the servo pattern. A sync word detector then produces block correlation values for respective positions of a sliding L-sample block in the series of soft output samples by (i) calculating at each block position bit correlation values indicating correlation between respective samples and corresponding bits of the sync word and (ii) summing each bit correlation value minus a predetermined function of the corresponding sample value. The sync word detector then detects a sync word at the block position with the maximum block correlation value in an (N+L−1)-sample sequence of the series of soft output samples.
