Abstract

Position error values are obtained from a transducer head while following a plurality of servo tracks with a servo loop that band-blocks a frequency range that includes F, a nominal rotation frequency. An estimated difference distribution is derived from the position error values, the difference distribution having a first frequency component at a positive frequency ≦2*F. A scalar track squeeze magnitude indicator is derived from the estimated difference distribution so that the indicator to be transmitted depends on the frequency component.
