Abstract
A magnetic tape of the present invention includes a plurality of data bands in which a data signal can be recorded and servo pattern portions composed of a burst signal. The servo pattern portions are formed at a predetermined interval in a longitudinal direction of the magnetic tape in a plurality of data bands, and positions of the servo pattern portions formed in the respective data bands in the longitudinal direction of the magnetic tape vary. According to such a configuration, a magnetic tape can be provided, which is traced stably by the magnetic head even if the magnetic tape is deformed due to temperature and humidity.
