ABSTRACT:
In a tracking system using an error signal derived from recorded dipulses of opposing polarity on each side of the center of a data track recorded on a magnetic medium, the need for highly accurate signal integration is avoided by partially integrating the dipulse signal, and then integrating the partially integrated signal above a predetermined threshold. The resulting double-integrated signal provides an error signal substantially unaffected by DC and noise offsets. A double-ended average pulse detector with feedback using a double-ended "current mirror" to carry out the described method is disclosed.
