Abstract
Apparatus and method for reducing nonlinearities in a position error signal (PES) of a disc drive data handling system. The disc drive data handling system includes a disc recording surface having a number of tracks and a controllably positionable read/write head. A servo circuit generates a sequence of PES samples indicative of head position with respect to a selected track using servo position data samples transduced from the selected track and a first set of compensation values selected to reduce nonlinearities in said PES samples. The PES samples are combined with the first set of compensation values to generate an updated set of compensation values. This process is preferably repeated a number of iterations to converge to a final set of compensation values which provide a substantially linear PES across the radial width of each track.
