Abstract
A disk drive is disclosed including a disk having a plurality of data tracks, wherein each data track comprises a plurality of data sectors and a plurality of servo sectors, and each servo sector comprises a plurality of servo bursts. A data path comprising a data decoder decodes a data read signal generated as a head passes over the data sectors, and a servo path demodulates a servo read signal generated as the head passes over the servo bursts. The servo path comprises a low pass filter operable to extract a low frequency component from the servo read signal, wherein the low pass filter does not operate on the data read signal. The servo path further comprises a subtractor operable to subtract the low frequency component from the servo read signal to generate a servo burst signal, and a servo demodulator operable to demodulate the servo burst signal.
