Abstract

See full text

A servomechanism for controlling the position of a magnetic-tape playback head (16) with respect to a track (24) of digital data on a magnetic tape (22) positions the head by reference to an error signal that error-signal-generation circuitry (FIG. 10). generates. Sample-clock signals obtained from simultaneously read azimuth-recorded data tracks clock respective frequency dividers (52 and 54), and a phase detector 56 generates the error signal by comparing the frequency dividers' outputs.
