An apparatus includes a frequency analyzer circuitry, filter circuitry, and voice coil motor (VCM) control circuitry. The frequency analyzer circuitry is configured to detect one or more dominant frequencies of a position error signal (PES). The filter circuitry is configured to identify one or more filters in response to detecting the one or more dominant frequencies, apply the one or more identified filters to at least one of a microactuator control signal and PES, and generate a VCM compensation signal in response to the filtered PES or the microactuator control signal. The VCM control circuitry is configured to generate a VCM control signal in response to the VCM compensation signal.

Adaptive attenuation for disturbance compensation

An apparatus includes a controller configured to be coupled to a read/write head. The controller is configured to perform various operations including detecting a change in a time interval difference between servo sectors of a servo marked recording medium, converting the change to an offset signal that compensates for the change, and positioning the read/write head relative to the servo mark recording medium in response to the offset signal. The change in the time interval difference is representative of disk slip.
