Abstract
An apparatus and method optimizing a model reference generator of a servo circuit to substantially mimic actual read/write head positions are disclosed. The servo circuit includes a microprocessor with associated random access memory storing a current profile and a set of optimized filter coefficients. The coefficients optimize a delay length of a finite impulse response filter, which delays passage of the current profile to a double integrator embedded in the microprocessor. The double integrator generates the substantially mimicked head positions. The filter coefficients are optimized by first, generating a model reference trajectory vector with a length determined by a set of empirically determined filter coefficients, then seek in an open loop mode while applying the selected current profile to the servo circuit to determine an actual trajectory vector, and replacing the empirically determined filter coefficient with an optimized filter coefficient determined from a mathematical comparison of the vector trajectories.
