Abstract: Sliding-window based data processing includes receiving an analog signal, converting the analog signal to a series of digital samples synchronous to a sampling clock, performing a first discrete Fourier transform on a first portion of the series of digital samples, performing a second discrete Fourier transform on a second portion of the series of digital samples, performing a third discrete Fourier transform on a third portion of the series of digital samples, generating a first series of zero phase start values by calculating a zero phase start value based on the first discrete Fourier transform in a sliding-window at a series of time increments across the servo preamble, storing the zero phase start values, and averaging the stored zero phase start values at the end of the servo preamble.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods related to pattern detection. As an example, a system for sample selection is disclosed that includes a difference calculation circuit, a comparator circuit, and an output selector circuit. The difference calculation circuit is operable to calculate a first difference between a first value corresponding to a first digital sample and a second value corresponding to a second digital sample, and to calculate a second difference between a third value corresponding to a third digital sample and a fourth value corresponding to a fourth digital sample. The comparator circuit is operable to compare the first difference with the second difference to yield a comparison output. The output selector circuit is operable to select one of the second value and the fourth value as an output based at least upon the comparison output.
