Abstract

A disk drive is disclosed comprising a head actuated over a disk comprising a plurality of servo sectors that define a plurality of servo tracks. The servo sectors comprise a plurality of servo bursts including a first servo burst, a second servo burst following the first servo burst and offset radially by approximately one half of a servo track from the first servo burst, a third servo burst following the second servo burst and offset radially by approximately one full servo track from the second servo burst, and a fourth servo burst following the third servo burst and offset radially by approximately one half of a servo track from the third servo burst. A PES is generated form the servo bursts that is substantially insensitive to a radial velocity of the head.
