ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method of maintaining stability in a servo loop of a disc drive is provided. A dither signal (a single frequency sine wave or a multi-frequency signal) is injected into the servo loop. A servo loop gain error signal is obtained in response to the injected dither signal. A gain of the servo loop is adjusted as a function of the servo loop gain error signal in real-time.
