Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure relates to the minimization of servo format transition bit length of magnetic recording media. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to bi-polar and trailing edge recording when formatting the servo track of magnetic recording media. In one embodiment, magnetic media having a timing-based pattern is written using a bi-polar energized recording head. In some embodiments, the magnetic media may be AC or DC erased. The recording head may include a plurality of independent recording channels, each of which may be magnetically energized individually. The bi-polar energized state of the recording head may be controlled to vary the bit length and bit sequence within the timing-based pattern. In further embodiments, the magnetic media may include both uni-polar and bi-polar transitions.
