Abstract

In an optical disc drive, signals from two satellite spots are used to cancel DC offset from a tracking error signal, and for generating a quadrature signal for determining direction of radial movement. The two satellite spots generate signals that are out of phase with the main tracking error signal by about one-fourth period.
