Magnetic head, head gimbal assembly, and magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus

摘要

A magnetic head has a magnetic head slider that includes a recording element that generates a recording signal magnetic field, a microwave magnetic field generating element that generates a microwave magnetic field, a terminal electrode, and a first transmission line that interconnects the terminal electrode and the microwave magnetic field generating element. A second transmission line is connected to the terminal electrode, the second transmission line being used to transmit a microwave signal from the outside of the magnetic head slider to the magnetic head slider. A capacitor connected to the first transmission line is provided between the terminal electrode and the microwave magnetic field generating element. Accordingly, in the magnetic head, a microwave signal is efficiently propagated.
