Abstract
A system including a write head, a read head, a mixer, and a filter. The write head is configured to write a pattern on a track of a medium of a hard disk drive, wherein the pattern has a first frequency. The read head is configured to read the pattern written on the track of the medium of the hard disk drive. The mixer is configured to mix a first signal generated by reading the pattern with a second signal to obtain a mixed signal. The second signal has a second frequency, and wherein the second frequency is different than the first frequency. The filter is configured to filter the mixed signal to determine a relative head-to-disk speed. The filter has a parameter selected based on a difference between the first frequency and the second frequency.
