Abstract

See full text

A method includes: producing a readback signal using a recording head positioned adjacent to a recording medium, amplitude demodulating the readback signal to produce an amplitude demodulated signal, frequency demodulating the readback signal to produce a frequency demodulated signal, and using the amplitude demodulated signal and the frequency demodulated signal to determine contact of the recording head with the recording medium. An apparatus that can be used to implement the method is also provided.
