Abstract:
In various embodiments, a recording medium having a servo layer configured to provide servo information and a data recording layer configured to record data, wherein the medium comprises a plurality of servo patterns and a plurality of data segment in one sector, each data segment corresponding to each of the plurality of servo patterns, wherein the plurality of servo patterns comprises a first servo pattern comprising an automatic gain control, a second servo pattern comprising a sector address mark, a third servo pattern comprising a GrayCode, and a fourth servo pattern comprising a plurality of servo bursts, wherein the data recording layer is configured to record the data on the data segments corresponding to the first, second, third and fourth servo patterns.
Abstract:
According to embodiments of the present invention, a method for providing a synchronization signal for at least one of a read operation or a write operation carried out by means of a head in a data storage device is provided. The method includes obtaining a readback servo signal from a storage medium of the data storage device by means of the head, the readback servo signal having at least one frequency associated with a servo track of the storage medium, frequency mixing the readback servo signal with a local signal having a local frequency to provide a frequency mixed signal, and filtering the frequency mixed signal to provide the synchronization signal for at least one of the read operation or the write operation. According to further embodiments of the present invention, a data storage device is also provided.
Abstract:
Various embodiments provide a recording medium. The recording medium may include a dedicated servo layer for providing servo information. The dedicated servo layer may include a plurality of tracks. A first track may include a first servo signal. A second track may include a second servo signal. The first servo signal and the second servo signal may include a plurality of common transitions. The transitions may be provided at a pre-determined frequency.
Abstract:
A method for measuring a change in a spacing between a head and a storage medium of a data storage system. The method includes obtaining a first readback signal from the storage medium using the head at a first spacing between the head and the storage medium, determining a first power spectrum density over a frequency range from the obtained first readback signal, obtaining a second readback signal from the storage medium using the head at a second spacing between the head and the storage medium, determining a second power spectrum density over the frequency range from the obtained second readback signal, and providing a measurement indicative of the change in the spacing based on the determined first power spectrum density and the determined second power spectrum density. A data storage system is also provided.
