    摘要: In a method of head-disk contact detection in a hard disk drive, a Radio Frequency (RF) carrier signal is injected into a slider which is flying above a surface of a disk in a hard disk drive. A modulated version of the RF carrier signal is received from the slider. The modulated version of the RF carrier signal is demodulated to achieve a demodulated signal. A signal spectrum of a range of frequencies in the demodulated signal is monitored for activity indicative of a contact between a head of the slider and the surface of the disk. An occurrence of the contact is determined based upon an occurrence of the activity.

    摘要: In a method of actively controlling slider fly height, a modulated radio frequency (RF) carrier signal is received from a slider. The modulated RF carrier signal comprises an amplitude modulated component which is modulated onto the modulated RF carrier signal by vibration of the slider. The amplitude associated with the amplitude modulated component is measured. Thermal fly height control (TFC) voltage generation is controlled by feeding back on the amplitude. A TFC voltage to apply to the slider is generated such that a selected amplitude of the amplitude modulated component is achieved and maintained. The selected amplitude is associated with a particular preselected fly height of the slider above a surface of a disk. The TFC voltage is provided to the slider.

    摘要: A disk drive is disclosed comprising a head actuated over a disk comprising a plurality of tracks. The disk drive further comprises a fly height actuator operable to adjust a fly height of the head. A fly height measurement (FHM) is generated for the head, and a fly height error (FHE) is generated as a difference between the FHM and a target fly height. A comb filter is used to generate fly height compensation values in response to the FHE, and a fly height control signal is generated in response to the FHE and the fly height compensation values, wherein the fly height control signal is applied to the fly height actuator.
