ABSTRACT:
A disk drive includes a rotatable data storage disk, a transducer, an actuator, and a servo burst demodulator. The disk includes a servo burst pattern thereon within a single servo sector. The transducer is configured to generate a read signal from the servo burst pattern. The actuator is configured to position the transducer relative to the disk. The servo burst demodulator is configured to generate a position error signal from the contributions of the servo burst pattern to the read signal, and is configured to generate a fly height signal from the contributions of the servo burst pattern to the read signal. The position error signal is indicative of a radial location of the transducer relative to the disk. The fly height signal is indicative of a height of the transducer from the disk.
