ABSTRACT:
A servo signal recording apparatus of the present invention is provided with a tape motion measurement unit5that measures the lateral motion of a magnetic tape3, and outputs tape motion information, a signal processing unit20that generates a servo signal that includes the tape motion information output from the tape motion measurement unit5, and a servo signal recording head4that records the servo signal generated by the signal processing unit20to the magnetic tape3. The tape motion measurement unit5measures the tape motion prior to the timing at which a servo signal is recorded to the magnetic tape3by the servo signal recording head4, and records a servo signal that includes the tape motion information. This configuration enables a servo signal that can be used to perform tracking servo at high speed and with high accuracy to be written to a magnetic tape.
