Abstract

In a servo control loop, servo burst signals that are read from a plurality of servo burst patterns that include a split servo burst pattern contain frequency acquisition error. The frequency acquisition error is at least partially removed to generate a frequency acquisition error compensated position error signal (PES).

Claims (34)

1. A circuit comprising:

a demodulation module that at least partially removes an effect of frequency acquisition error on a position error signal (PES) using servo readback signals read from a sequence of at least one part of a split first servo burst pattern, a second servo burst pattern, and another part of the split first servo burst pattern on a moving storage media to generate a frequency acquisition error compensated PES component.

2. The circuit of claim 1 , wherein the demodulation module generates a sinusoidal component vector for each of the parts of the split first servo burst pattern and for the second servo burst pattern.

3. The circuit of claim 1 , wherein the demodulation module combines the component vectors for each of parts of the split first servo burst pattern to generate a synthetic component vector that represents a combination of the parts of the split first servo burst pattern.

4. The circuit of claim 3 , wherein the demodulation module interpolates among phase angles of the parts of the split first servo burst pattern to generate the synthetic component vector.

5. The circuit of claim 4 , wherein the demodulation module averages the phase angles of the parts of the split first servo burst pattern to generate the synthetic component vector.

6. The circuit of claim 3 , wherein the demodulation module determines a rotation matrix with a phase angle that reduces a sum of squares of the first and second synthetic cosine components.

7. The circuit of claim 6 , wherein the demodulation module rotates the first and second synthetic pairs of sine and cosine components in response to the rotation matrix to generate phase rotated synthetic pairs of sine and cosine components, and generates the frequency acquisition error compensated PES component using the phase rotated synthetic pairs of sine and cosine components.

8. The circuit of claim 1 , wherein the demodulation module generates pairs of sine and cosine components for each of the parts of the split first servo burst pattern and for the second servo burst pattern, and determines frequency acquisition error in response to a phase relationship between the pairs of sine and cosine components.

9. The circuit of claim 8 , wherein the demodulation module interpolates among the pairs of sine and cosine components for each of the parts of the split first servo burst pattern to generate a synthetic pair of sine and cosine components.
