Abstract
Noise in the readback signal of a magnetic recording device resulting from spurious pulses in the readback signal produced by transitions of the magnetic remanent state of the yoke in the read/write transducer is eliminated by controlling the occurrence of the spurious pulses. Immediately following the completion of the write process, a decreasing amplitude alternating current is applied to the read/write coil of the transducer to drive the yoke remanent state to a stable or zero remanent state prior to the commencement of the read process.
