Abstract

A head gimbal assembly includes a magnetic head slider provided with a recording head element that applies a recording magnetic field to a magnetic recording medium and a suspension that supports the magnetic head slider. The magnetic head slider further includes a microwave radiation element that radiates a microwave magnetic field from a microwave excitation current that is supplied from a microwave generating circuit, and that applies the microwave magnetic field to the magnetic recording medium when the recording head element applies the recording magnetic field to the magnetic recording medium. The suspension includes a microwave transmission line that transmits the microwave excitation current, and the microwave transmission line is provided with a matching circuit to achieve impedance matching with the microwave radiation element.
