Servo pattern recording method, servo pattern recording apparatus, method of producing tape-like magnetic recording medium, tape-like magnetic recording medium, and servo write head
Abstract:
A servo pattern recording method includes: determining a first servo band group that includes three or more servo bands for recording a servo pattern in which first servo band identification information having a plurality of bits is to be embedded, and a second servo band group that includes three or more servo bands for recording a servo pattern in which second servo band identification information having a plurality of bits is to be embedded, the second servo band identification information being different from the first servo band identification information; and recording the first and second servo band identification information on the first and second servo band groups, respectively, such that a combination of a first pair and a second pair is not duplicated, the first pair being a pair of servo band identification information and a phase in one servo band read by a first servo read head, the second pair being a pair of servo band identification information and a phase in the other servo band read by a second servo read head.
