摘要:
A hard disk drive system (10) includes a rotating magnetic disk (13), an arm (16) moved by a voice coil motor (18), and a read/write head (21) movably supported on the arm by a microactuator (22). The read/write head is moved approximately radially of the disk in response to operation of the microactuator or movement of the arm. The microactuator has a nonlinear transfer function. A control system (62) for controlling the microactuator and the voice coil motor includes a control technique (126) having a nonlinear transfer function which is substantially an inverse of the nonlinear transfer function of the microactuator. Control of the microactuator is effected through the control technique, the control technique linearizing the control of the microactuator.

This invention comprises an architecture for voltage mode control of a voice coil motor in a hard disk drive. In contrast to conventional current mode control, coil current is not sensed or measured, which simplifies the feedback design with less hardware required in the implementation. Common design methodologies for the square root velocity profile, linear velocity profile and regulator/estimator control system designs can be migrated from the current mode architecture to the voltage mode architecture.

The present invention provides a packet detector for use with a packet-based wireless receiver employing a receive antenna for P concurrently transmitted streams, where P is at least two. In one embodiment, the packet detector includes a correlation unit coupled to the single receive antenna and configured to provide a correlation function based on P acquisition fields corresponding to the P concurrently transmitted streams. Additionally, the packet detector also includes a pseudo-magnitude calculator coupled to the correlation unit and configured to calculate a packet detection metric based on the correlation function.

A system for normalizing an infrared detector has two control loops, each of which includes a thermal source and a command system. Each command system controls the temperature of the associated thermal source. Each command system includes an error signal source for providing an error signal indicative of the difference between a commanded temperature for the thermal source and an actual temperature at the thermal source, and includes a compensator coupled between the error signal source and the thermal source. Each compensator includes a first inverse compensation circuit responsive to the error signal for providing an output, a bandwidth maximizing compensation circuit responsive to the output of the first inverse compensation circuit, and a second inverse compensation circuit responsive to an output of the bandwidth maximizing compensation circuit. The thermal source is responsive to the output of the second inverse compensation circuit.

The present invention provides a gain training generator for use with a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) transmitter employing N transmit antennas where N is at least two. In one embodiment, the gain training generator includes a fundamental training encoder configured to provide a basic gain training sequence to one of the N transmit antennas during a time interval to produce a basic gain training waveform having a basic peak-to-average ratio (PAR). Additionally, the gain training generator also includes a supplemental training encoder coupled to the fundamental training encoder and configured to further provide (N−1) supplemental gain training sequences to (N−1) remaining transmit antennas, respectively, during the time interval to produce supplemental gain training waveforms wherein each has a supplemental PAR substantially equal to the basic PAR.

The present invention provides a concurrent gain generator for use with a MIMO transmitter havi'ng an N of two or more transmit antennas. In one embodiment, the concurrent gain generator includes a first sequence formatter that provides one of the N transmit antennas with a gain training sequence during an initial time interval, and a second sequence formatter that further provides (N−1) remaining transmit antennas with (N−1) additional gain training sequences during the initial time interval to train receive gains. The present invention also provides a non-concurrent gain adjuster for use with a MIMO receiver employing an M of two or more receive antennas. In one embodiment, the non-concurrent gain adjuster includes a gain combiner that computes a common receive gain as a function of M independent receive gains, and a gain applier that applies the common receive gain to receivers associated with the M receive antennas.
