Abstract

A closed loop resolution enhancement technique for reducing density effects to permit increased digital data storage density on magnetic media and improve data reliability for at a given density, uses a predetermined test pattern written on the medium to determine the ratio of amplitudes of high and low frequency components of the test pattern and adjust a resolution value. After a test pattern read operation is used to adjust the resolution value, the same value is used during normal data recovery operations.
