Abstract

See full text

A disk recording device is disclosed comprising a disk and a head. A first plurality of reference bursts are written along a first radius of the disk, the first plurality of reference bursts comprising a first reference burst. A second plurality of reference bursts are written along a second radius of the disk circumferentially offset from the first radius, the second plurality of reference bursts comprising a second reference burst. A first segment of a reference band is written along a third radius of the disk circumferentially offset from the second radius, and at a first timing offset from the first reference burst. A second timing offset between the first reference burst and the second reference burst is measured, and a second segment of the reference band is written radially coherent with the first segment based on the first timing offset and the second timing offset.
