  • Patent number: 10083711
    Abstract: A magnetic recording apparatus in an embodiment includes a magnetic head, a storage, a detector, and a controller. The magnetic head records data on a recording medium. The storage stores first current parameters defining a first current waveform, second current parameters defining a second current waveform, and recording bit sequence information. The detector detects a discontinuity point from the recording bit sequence information. The discontinuity point is defined by a position at which recording bit lengths are discontinuous. The controller controls a waveform of a recording current of the magnetic head, based on the first current parameters at a recording bit that is not next to the discontinuity point and based on the second current parameters at a recording bit that is next to the discontinuity point.
