ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for defining tracks on a rotating magnetic disk medium of a disk drive. Reference tracks are followed using a servo control loop while writing servo patterns defining a first target servo track. The servo control loop includes a two-dimensional digital state compensator having a first input that receives timing error signals, a first output that generates control signals for a controlled oscillator, a second output that generates timing state variables, and a second input that receives stored timing state variables. The first target track is followed using the servo control loop while servo patterns are written, and while the stored timing state variables corresponding to the servo patterns defining the first target track are applied to the second input.
