ABSTRACT:
A disk drive servo system which provides a position error signal with an increased signal to noise ratio. Mixing waveforms are generated for mixing with dibit burst signals created when a transducer on a recording head of a disk drive magnetically couples to reference position dibits located on a magnetic surface of the disk drive. The mixing waveforms are formed from a finite integer number of sine waves which are coherent with the dibit burst signals. The mixed dibit burst signal are integrated and summed to create the position error signal. Customizing the mixing waveforms allows the signal to noise ratio of the position error signal to be maximized when a magneto-resistive transducer within the disk drive servo system has one of several non-ideal characteristics.
