Using servo data harmonics to monitor head-medium spacing
A method is disclosed that includes measuring a first amplitude and a second amplitude in a servo pattern signal derived from a transducer head interacting with a medium; and providing an indication of a change in a spacing distance between the head and the medium, wherein the change in the spacing...

| Zusammenfassung: | A method is disclosed that includes measuring a first amplitude and a second amplitude in a servo pattern signal derived from a transducer head interacting with a medium; and providing an indication of a change in a spacing distance between the head and the medium, wherein the change in the spacing is evaluated using a spacing relation derived from a ratio of the first harmonic amplitude and the second harmonic amplitude. |
