Abstract

See full text

A disk drive is disclosed comprising a head actuated over a disk comprising a plurality of servo tracks defined by a plurality of servo sectors, wherein each servo sector comprises a plurality of servo bursts, and each servo burst comprises a predetermined phase. After positioning the head over one of the servo tracks, a servo burst in one of the servo sectors is read to generate a read signal, and a sine and cosine component are extracted from the read signal. At least one of the sine and cosine components is rotated by an angle based on a radial location of the head. A position error signal for the head is generated in response to the rotated component.
