Abstract
Apparatus and method for improving operational performance of a disc drive by detecting defective servo burst patterns. A rotatable disc is provided with servo data which include a plurality of servo burst patterns to define a plurality of tracks. A head transduces the burst patterns to provide burst signals to a servo circuit which controllably positions the head with respect to the surface of the disc by determining a position error signal from a combination of the burst signals. The servo circuit identifies a selected servo burst pattern as defective in relation to differences between absolute values of successive pairs of peak amplitude samples from the burst signal.
