Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide a method for recording bursts on a disk and a related apparatus. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a method for recording bursts on a burst field of a servo sector of a disk comprises generating a first write current corresponding to burst data provided by a write channel circuit, and generating a second write current having a higher frequency than the first write current using a high frequency AC current generator, wherein the high frequency AC current generator is independent from the write channel circuit. The method further comprises selectively applying the first write current to a write head in response to a signal and selectively applying the second write current to the write head in response to the signal.
