    Abstract: A read sensor that includes an air bearing surface and a synthetic antiferromagnetic (SAF) structure. The read sensor also includes a first free layer (FL) above the SAF structure and a second FL below the SAF structure. The first FL and the second FL have differing widths at the bearing surface. The first FL, the second FL and the SAF structure are configured to provide a reader resolution that corresponds to a difference between a first width of the first FL and a second width of the second FL.

    Abstract: A read channel is configured to obtain an analog readback waveform from a magnetic recording medium of a disk drive at a sampling rate of one sample per one written bit. A buffer is coupled the read channel. Circuitry is configured to inject a plurality of different phase offsets into the read channel for each of a plurality of revolutions of the medium. The circuitry is also configured to store, in a buffer, an amplitude of the readback waveform for each of the different phase offsets. The circuitry is further configured to generate an oversampled readback waveform using the amplitudes stored in the buffer.
