ABSTRACT:
A servo write head is provided and is configured to simultaneously write at least two servo patterns in respective servo bands on linear magnetic tape. Centerlines of the servo patterns are substantially uniformly spaced in the lateral direction. In addition, the servo patterns of all adjacent respective servo bands are displaced relative to each other in a longitudinal direction by an amount that is related to a length of a servo frame and a type of the servo patterns.
