ABSTRACT:
A servo system is disclosed which is applied to a disk drive for detecting characteristic frequency components of a position error between a position of the head and the target position, and calculating a control correction value for correcting a control value. The servo system estimates the frequency components of target value variation from the characteristic frequency components of the position error, thereby modifying the characteristic frequency components to follow the target value variation. Thus, the servo system calculates the control correction value for suppressing the target value variation, and executes head positioning control, using a value obtained by adding the control value to the control correction value.
