Phase detector for a recorder/player using a conducting loop driven by a winding strand of the head drum motor

摘要

In an electronically commutated head drum motor in combination with a motor control circuit, commutation control and tacho signals are generated from the commutation of winding strands. One of the winding strands is used for the phase detection of the read/write heads arranged on the perimeter of the rotating head drum. A commutation signal is derived from the commutation of this winding strand and the commutation signal is set in relation to the reference signal of a signal track to be recorded or scanned.
