ABSTRACT:
Servo disk, including three types of servo patterns distinguishable by phase, are stored in concentric tracks on a magnetic information storage disk. For phase recognition, the pattern types are arranged in triplets of sectors, each sector having a radially extending plurality of only one type of pattern with consecutive patterns in a sector being separated by three track spacings. The patterns are further arranged in radially repeating frames, each including one of each type of pattern, and the patterns are radially offset within a frame by one track spacing from one type of pattern to the next. The patterns have a radial width greater than a track spacing and, in one embodiment, are divided radially into two portions spaced apart by a distance less than one track spacing.
