Abstract
The correlation between the pole shape of a magnetic write head and the tra ck-following accuracy has been investigated. To evaluate the effect of head properties on head positioning, an analytical model for position signal ge neration was developed. This model clarified the effect of the erase-band w idth and the read track-width on the track-following accuracy by revealing the position signal linearity. The investigation demonstrated that pole tri mming of the write head improves head-positioning performance.
