Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for servo demodulation in a direct access storage device. A readback signal is sensed from at least one disk surface and locations of positive and negative peaks in the sensed readback signal are detected for providing a detected peak signal. A square wave signal having a period variable with distance between detected locations of positive and negative peaks is generated using the detected peak signal and applied to a servo demodulator in the direct access storage device.
