Mk. Bhattacharyya et Rf. Simmons, MR HEAD MANUFACTURING SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS USING TRANSMISSION-LINE MODEL, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 30(2), 1994, pp. 291-297
Transmission line based equations are developed to describe the operat
ion of MR heads. An analytical solution for magnetic flux in MR films
is derived for linear operation. This transmission line method is used
to analyze the design center of shielded dual stripe, soft adjacent l
ayer and barberpole MR heads. Error propagation analysis is used to an
alyze the manufacturing tolerance sensitivity of these various heads.
Finally, a Monte Carlo simulation is used to investigate the expected
distribution in performance of manufactured MR heads.
