Abstract:
1. A velocity calculator for high-order calculations of servo frame velocities of a storage media, the velocity calculator comprising: a servo frame indexing module operable to generate a first-order preceding servo frame velocity signal indicative of a first-order calculation of a preceding servo frame velocity including a first-order preceding servo frame error term based on a first-order current servo frame velocity signal indicative of a first-order calculation of a current servo frame velocity including a first-order current servo frame error term; and a velocity estimating module in electrical communication with the servo frame indexing module, wherein the velocity estimating module is operable to generate a higher-order current servo frame velocity signal indicative of at least a second order velocity calculation of the current servo frame velocity including a higher-order current servo frame error term based on the first-order preceding servo frame velocity signal and the first-order current servo frame velocity signal.
