Variation of inter-frame and intra-frame placement is substantially reduced by writing successive frames or sub-frames based on a detection of a previously-written frame or sub-frame by a read element. Appropriate placement of the read element in relation to servo write elements, on a multi-gap servo write head, ensures the correct placement of subsequent frames on the recording medium. | 10-02-2008 |
20090040643 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR WRITING TIMING BASED SERVO TRACKS ON MAGNETIC TAPE USING COMPLEMENTARY SERVO WRITER PAIRS - Method and apparatus for writing timing based (servo) tracks on magnetic recording tape using complementary servo writer pairs. A magnetic tape intended to store, for instance, computer data conventionally contains servo tracks in addition to the data tracks. Typically many servo tracks and data tracks are arranged laterally across the width of the tape. The adjacent servo tracks (bands) here are complementary in terms of the orientation of their stripes and are written (recorded) by a complementary arranged servo writer pair. This advantageously reduces the position error signal by a substantial amount, even to nearly zero. In one version the servo writers are straight in configuration and in another version they are curved or chevron shape. These complementary servo writer pairs write adjacent servo bands. This takes advantage of the fact that typical servo technology, for instance in the LTO tape format, uses two servo heads, a top and bottom servo head, and averages the position error signal of the top and bottom servo read heads in the tape drive to determine the position error. By writing the servo tracks as described here, this error as written-in is substantially reduced. This is because the top and bottom servo sensors interpret the complementary aspect as being position error signal error in opposite directions, which thereby cancels out. | 02-12-2009 |
20110032630 | MULTI-MODE LOOP ADAPTATION SCHEME FOR HIGH-DENSITY DATA RECORDING CHANNEL - A circuit for a high-density data recording channel includes a first data detector, a second data detector, one or more multiplexers and a sequence identifier. The first data detector generates a first data detector output, and the second data detector generates a second data detector output. The multiplexers change between a first mode and a second mode to alternately receive the first data detector output and the second data detector output. The sequence identifier receives a data sequence including at least one of a first data sequence, such as VFO data, and a second data sequence, such as random data. The second data sequence includes a greater number of signal levels than the first data sequence. The sequence identifier changes the multiplexers between the first mode and the second mode based on whether the data sequence is the first data sequence or the second data sequence. The data sequence includes a plurality of timing stages. The sequence detector can at least partially control a loop bandwidth of the circuit based on the timing stage of the data sequence. | 02-10-2011 |
20120076244 | WAVEFORM INTERPOLATOR ARCHITECTURE FOR ACCURATE TIMING RECOVERY BASED ON UP-SAMPLING TECHNIQUE - In one embodiment, an interpolator-based timing recovery system improves accuracy by calculating additional sampled signals of a digital signal and generating an interpolation based on the additional sampled signals and the digital signal, while employing a parallel architecture to maintain system clock frequency and a pipeline architecture to minimize sampled data memory requirement. | 03-29-2012 |
