ABSTRACT:
A computer disc drive includes a disc with circumferentially arranged tracks, a number of sectors on each track, with each sector including positional and data fields. The disc drive also includes a servo system with a magnetic head, arm, motor, and servo signal processor. One track of the disc drive includes a number of sectors, with each of the sectors including a positional field. A second track of the disc drive includes a number of sectors, with each of the sectors including a positional field. The positional fields of the second track are in a phase variant relationship, or staggered configuration, with the positional fields of the first track. Thus, the magnetic head reading from the first track or the second track is assured of producing a coherent signal with positional information that is sufficient for the servo system to process, despite interfering magnetic patterns between the two tracks. The resulting variably coherent signal with positional information allows the servo system to reposition the arm to a desired position.
