SYNCHRONOUS SERVO CHANNEL FOR TAPE DRIVE SYSTEMS, ITS OPERATION METHOD, PROGRAM, AND COMPUTER INFRASTRUCTURE ARRANGEMENT METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fully synchronous servo channel for a data tape drive. SOLUTION: The fully synchronous servo channel for a data tape drive includes the initial acquisition of synchronous servo channel parameters, generation of a timing basis for signal interpolation, generation of a tape velocity estimate and a y-position estimate, and optimum detection of longitudinal position (LPOS) symbols.
