ABSTRACT:
The lateral position of a magnetic head is controlled in response to tracking information derived from an adjacent guide track formed by a series of minute pits on a grooveless recording medium having ferromagnetic and dielectric properties. Microwave energy is applied to an electrode mounted for movement with the magnetic head to sense the variations in capacitance resulting from the geometrical variations of the minute pits. The recording medium comprises an underlying layer of ferromagnetic material in which the minute pits are formed in spiral or concentric pattern and an overlying layer of a dielectric material which conforms to the pit contours of the underlying layer.
