A method and apparatus for compensating for repeatable run-out errors in a disc drive is provided in which transfer function values for a servo loop in the disc drive are first determined. A sequence of repeatable run-out values for a portion of the disc drive is then determined. A transform is applied to the sequence of repeatable run-out values to obtain frequency-domain repeatable run-out values. Each frequency-domain repeatable run-out value is divided by a respective transfer function value to produce a sequence of frequency-domain compensation values which are then stored. An inverse transform is applied to the frequency-domain compensation values to obtain a sequence of time-domain compensation values. The sequence of time-domain compensation values is inserted into the servo loop.

Compensation for repeated runout (RRO) error, such as in a data storage device servo circuit, is preferably carried out by obtaining a population distribution of RRO error values from at least selected ones of a subset of tracks. An RRO error compensation value is determined for each one of the subset of tracks when a variance characteristic of said population distribution meets a selected criterion. Preferably, a first track of a storage medium has a servo field at a first angular position on the medium, a repeated runout (RRO) error compensation field at a second angular position on the medium, and a user data field at a third angular position on the medium. An immediately adjacent second track preferably has a servo field at the first angular position and a user data field at the second angular position in lieu of an RRO error compensation field.

摘要:
A system and method for correcting repeatable runout errors during manufacture of a disc drive. The system includes a Kalman filter having a recursive learning gain input and includes a recursive learning Again-setting circuit coupled to the recursive learning gain input. The recursive learning gain is initially set based on an estimate of a ratio of non-repeatable run out error to an estimate of the repeatable run out error. On subsequent recursions, the recursive learning gain-setting is reduced.
