In a hard disk drive (HDD), biases are measured across all zones of a disk, and nonlinear bias components are extracted. Upon a change in operational condition of the HDD, biases are measured at two reference positions on the disk so as to estimate a corresponding change in a linear bias component across all zones of the disk. The bias at a given position of the disk is then calculated based on the estimated linear bias component and the extracted nonlinear bias component.

Bias calculation, bias compensation, and bias table editing methods for HDD, recording media storing computer programs for executing the same, and HDD using the same

A servo control method of controlling a plant to track a reference trajectory with enhanced accuracy using a reference signal and its derivative signals, an apparatus and a recording medium suitable for same. The servo control method includes: determining a polynomial indicating a reference trajectory desired by a plant and derivatives of the polynomial; sampling a plant output with respect to a plant input; generating a reference signal and its derivative signals with reference to a time between samples (a relative time); and determining a plant input at a sampling time using the generated reference signal and its derivative signals, a delayed plant input and a delayed plant output. Accordingly, a plant is controlled to track a reference trajectory with enhanced accuracy using a reference signal and its derivative signals.
