ABSTRACT:
A servo signal processing apparatus for processing a servo signal corresponding to servo information from a servo area on a recording medium for controlling a head. The servo area includes a servo mark area for storing a servo mark indicative of a head of the servo area, a gray mark area for storing a gray mark indicative of a head of information for position control for the head, and a gray code area for storing information. An A-D converter converts the servo signal to digital data. A digital filter filters the converted data based on a sampling clock, and outputs the filtered digital data. A servo mark detector detects a servo mark based on a continuity of a first predetermined logical value. A gray code decoder detects a gray code based on a continuity of a predetermined logical value. The gray code decoder decodes information stored in a gray code area following the detected gray mark.
