Abstract
A method of producing a modified control signal to an actuator arm assembly of a disc drive to reduce RRO includes the step of generating a correction signal corresponding to a position error signal of a current track. Then to determine a high pass filter transfer function of a high pass filter to decrease a gain of an unwanted frequency generated when increasing a learning gain of the correction signal to achieve a faster convergence without any loss of performance in the disc drive. Then to determine filter parameters from the high pass filter transfer function, and to filter the correction signal by passing the correction signal through the high pass filter to generate a modified control signal to the actuator arm assembly of the disc drive using the filtered correction signal to remove the RRO on a next track.
