Abstract
A track-crossing signal generator includes a bottom envelope detecting unit, a defect detector, an auto gain control unit, and an amplifier. The bottom envelope detecting unit receives a radio frequency signal, and outputs a bottom envelope signal. The defect detector is electrically connected to the bottom envelope detecting unit for receiving the bottom envelope signal and generating a defect signal when a defect area is formed on a disc track. The auto gain control unit is electrically connected to the bottom envelope detecting unit for receiving the bottom envelope signal and dynamically adjusting a gain value according to the amplitude of the bottom envelope signal. The amplifier is electrically connected to the bottom envelope detecting unit and the auto gain control unit for receiving the bottom envelope signal and dynamically adjusting the bottom envelope signal according to the gain value, thereby amplifying the bottom envelope signal as a track-crossing signal.
