ABSTRACT:
A servo pattern for use on a data storage surface that includes at least one track to minimize position error during positioning of a transducer over the data storage surface. The servo pattern includes a plurality of servo burst fields of constant amplitude for defining a centerline of the track and for determining the position of the transducer. According to the present invention, at least one servo burst field comprises N segments, where N.gtoreq.2, and each of the N segments is written with constant amplitude. The amplitude of the at least one servo burst field is then determined as a function of the amplitudes of the N segments.
