Abstract: | Output waveform and peak shift characteristics for low squareness Ba-ferrite perpendicular recording flexible disk (FD), the same as used for 3.5 inch Ba-ferrite 4MB FDD, were investigated by both calculation and measurement. A simple simulation for an isolated pulse and density responses was carried out and an estimation method for the perpendicular component factor, Kp, was derived. The peak shift characteristics and Kp for a Ba-ferrite FD were investigated for various recording /reproducing conditions, such as head gap length, recording current, etc. Then, it is shown that both the Kp value and peak shift are not so large, and therefore a phase equalizer is not needed for the low squareness Ba-ferrite FD. |
