A tape transport servo system and method that do not make use of tachometers and/or encoders to derive tape velocity and position are provided. The tape transport servo system and method derive velocity and position of the tape from a primary and direct manner and also a secondary or alternative manner, especially when the primary or direct manner cannot be used. The tape transport servo system and method control a tape drive and moves a tape between one reel driven by one motor to another reel driven by another motor. The tape is read by a recording head composed of data readers, data writers and a dedicated set of servo read elements. A position and a velocity of the tape are determined from a primary velocity source when the tape is being read by the head. The position and the velocity of the tape are determined from a secondary velocity source when the tape is not being read by the head. The velocity of the tape is compared to a desired programmed reference velocity for the tape. The velocity of the tape is driven to the desired programmed reference velocity if the velocity is not equal to the desired velocity. The velocity of the tape is controlled by regulating the velocity and the driving currents of the motors. The tape transport servo system comprises a digital signal processor and a servo motor control system. The servo motor control system comprises a servo logic system, sensors, PWM motor drivers, power amplifiers, DACs, counters, computation systems, and a timing-based servo pattern monitoring system.

A fully synchronous longitudinal position (LPOS) detection system is provided for improving the reliability of servo channels in tape systems. The system is based on the interpolation of the servo channel output signal, which is sampled by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) at a fixed sampling rate, using a clock at a nominal frequency, so that interpolated signal samples are obtained at a predetermined fixed rate, independent of tape velocity. This predetermined fixed rate is defined in terms of samples per unit of length, as opposed to samples per unit of time, which is the measure of the ADC sampling rate. The resolution with which the servo channel signal is obtained at the interpolator output is thus determined by the step interpolation distance.

A recording system comprises a read-write head with a length that is substantially smaller than the width of the tape, the small mass of the head allows high frequency track following. The head contacts only that area of the tape currently being accessed, significantly reducing the tape and the head wear. The head flies over the tape with the flying height tightly controlled even at high tape speed and low tape tension. Several methods to stabilize the tape in the recording area are disclosed. The stabilizer can be a second recording head allowing dual sided recording. A first implementation uses a linear actuator and a second implementation uses a rotary actuator. A mechanism moves the head from the path of a threading mechanism.

In the apparatus and method of the invention, a servo signal reproduction unit generates a PES from a servo signal reproduced from a magnetic tape, and a frequency conversion unit performs FFT processing of the PES to generate frequency component information. Then, a filter value generation unit generates filter values based on the frequency component information and writes these to a memory. When recording various data signals to the magnetic tape, the filter values are read from the memory and a control filter serving as a notch filter is incorporated into a feedback control for a tracking servo. This enables periodic and narrow-band noise to be removed from a PES, consequently reducing PESs. Accordingly, learning-type optimum notch filter control that allows a magnetic head to follow recording tracks at high speed and with high precision is possible even when the recording track width is reduced and the tape speed is increased.

A Tape Muscle is described where multiple tape loops are independently driven by synchronized grasp and pull actions from a tandem of Clamp, Clamp & Drive modules. Each tape loop is elastically bent, with its open ends threaded through individual passageways in both modules. Tape loops are nested inside each other with all tape open ends on the same side. Each loop moves its open ends in equal, opposite directions, while the loop position remains fixed. Tape movements do not interfere with each other. The open ends of each loop attach to a shared appendage, which is pulled back and forth using tensile forces. Drive and hold forces use small angle flexure bending mechanical advantage and high force density electrostatic induction methods. Tape speed results from high frequency clock speed and novel hand-off methods. Governing equations, design details and performance estimates are provided.
