Abstract: A first straight line region and a second straight line region of the straight line region pair are inclined in opposite directions with respect to a first imaginary straight line. The first straight line region has a steeper inclined angle with respect to the first imaginary straight line than the second straight line region. Positions of both ends of the first straight line region and positions of both ends of the second straight line region are aligned in a direction corresponding to a width direction of a magnetic tape. A plurality of gap patterns deviate from each other by a predetermined interval in a direction corresponding to a longitudinal direction of the magnetic tape, between the gap patterns adjacent to each other along the direction corresponding to the width direction of the magnetic tape. A substrate is inclined with respect to the first imaginary straight line.

Abstract: A plurality of gap patterns are formed on a front surface of a substrate along a direction corresponding to a width direction of a magnetic tape. The first straight line region has a steeper inclined angle with respect to the first imaginary straight line than the second straight line region. Positions of both ends of the first straight line region and positions of both ends of the second straight line region are aligned in a direction corresponding to a width direction of a magnetic tape. Positions of the plurality of gap patterns are aligned in a longitudinal direction of the magnetic tape. A pulse signal is supplied to each of the plurality of gap patterns with a delay of a predetermined time from one side to the other side in a direction in which the plurality of gap patterns are arranged.

Abstract: A detection device includes a processor. The processor compares a servo band signal, which is a result of reading a servo band in which a servo pattern is recorded from a magnetic tape including the servo band by a servo reading element, with a threshold value to detect a servo pattern signal indicating the servo pattern. The threshold value is determined in accordance with an angle formed by the servo pattern and the servo reading element.

Abstract: A processing device stores a result of reading a reference servo pattern by a servo reading element from a magnetic tape in which the reference servo pattern is recorded, in the storage medium as an ideal waveform signal indicating an ideal waveform, acquires a servo band signal which is a result of reading a servo pattern recorded in a servo band of the magnetic tape by the servo reading element, and detects a servo pattern signal which is a result of reading the servo pattern by the servo reading element by comparing the ideal waveform signal stored in the storage medium with the servo band signal. The magnetic tape has a data band. The reference servo pattern is recorded in the data band.

Abstract: A detection device includes a processing device and a storage medium. An ideal waveform signal indicating an ideal waveform of a servo pattern signal which is a result of reading a servo pattern recorded in a servo band of a magnetic tape by a servo reading element is stored in advance in the storage medium. The processing device acquires a servo band signal which is a result of reading the servo band by the servo reading element, and detects the servo pattern signal by comparing the servo band signal with the ideal waveform signal.
