A magnetic recording device includes a magnetic disk and a magnetic head that performs magnetic recording to the magnetic disk. The magnetic head includes a main magnetic pole layer and a microwave generating element. The magnetic recording device further includes a microwave generating element driving current control circuit. The microwave generating element driving current control circuit, during the magnetic recording, applies a microwave generating element driving current at a first current level to the microwave generating element for a period that is from at the latest a polarity reversal of the recording current before a subsequent polarity reversal of the recording voltage, and thereafter applies another microwave generating element driving current at a second current level, which is smaller than the first current level, to the microwave generating element, or stops the application of the another microwave generating element driving current until the polarity reversal of the recording voltage. |
