Ha. Shute et al., A THEORETICAL-ANALYSIS OF SHIELDED MAGNETORESISTIVE HEADS BY CONFORMAL MAPPING, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 33(1), 1997, pp. 809-819
A new theoretical analysis of an asymmetrically shielded magnetoresist
ive sensor in the presence of a high-permeability underlayer is obtain
ed by conformal mapping, The symmetrically shielded head is a special
case, The solution also covers recessed sensors, and can be extended t
o the no underlayer situation, Head fields, spectral response function
s, phase, dibit shift, and roll-off results for various head configura
tions are provided and discussed.
