Abstract

A test track is written to a recording medium and includes a repeated series of reference patterns. The reference patterns each include a first portion with a high frequency pure tone and a second portion with a higher frequency component. A length of the first portion is greater than a length of the second portion. The series of reference patterns are read to determine first and second harmonic amplitudes, and a head-to-media clearance is determined based on the first and second amplitudes at first and second harmonic frequencies.
