Abstract: An inspection device or inspection method for a magnetic head or magnetic disc which can form a servo pattern applicable to a write system, and a magnetic disc recording device or magnetic disc recording method. In inspection or recording of a magnetic disc, which rotates the magnetic disc, a servo pattern is written into a servo pattern region of the magnetic disc by a write-in element of a magnetic head, and is read by a read-in element of the magnetic head. Servo following of a position of the magnetic head on the magnetic disc is performed based on the servo pattern which comprises a plurality of patterns. The patterns are written-in with a first frequency for causing the patterns to be subjected to the servo following and, the patterns are overwritten with a second frequency different from the first frequency, except a servo following width used in the servo following.

Abstract: The present invention realizes reduction of position information demodulation errors caused by the eccentricity of the magnetic disk and improvement of position signal detection accuracy, as well as enabling quick eccentricity clock correction for arbitrary clock frequencies. An inspection device in accordance with the present invention comprises: a servo demodulation unit which demodulates servo information; a PLL clock generating unit which generates a reference clock and supplies the reference clock to the servo demodulation unit; and a tester control unit. The PLL clock generating unit includes an eccentricity correction circuit for correcting the frequency of the reference clock depending on the eccentricity of the magnetic disk. The tester control unit generates correction data for correcting the frequency of the reference clock, multiplies the correction data by the inverse of a transfer function of the PLL clock generating unit, and supplies the product to the eccentricity correction circuit.

Abstract: Provided are magnetic read-write inspection apparatus and inspection method allowing measurement and inspection again by a sector servo system even when a magnetic disk measured and inspected by the sector servo system is detached from the inspection apparatus and re-mounted. A data write unit writes a servo pattern signal in a predetermined track range of the disk, writes an inspection test pattern signal onto an inspection track by performing sector-servo-system-based positioning and concentrically writes an eccentricity learning pattern onto an eccentricity learning track which is different from the inspection track. An eccentric quantity learning unit calculates an eccentric quantity of the disk from a read signal detection position by reading out the eccentricity learning pattern without using servo information. An eccentric quantity correction unit controls shaking of a magnetic head so as to cancel the calculated eccentric quantity when reading out a test signal from the disk.
