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, wherein the servo sectors comprise a plurality of servo bursts. A radial velocity of the head is detected relative to the servo tracks. At least two of the servo bursts are read to generate servo burst signals, and the servo burst signals are adjusted in response to the radial velocity of the head. A position error signal is generated for the head in response to the adjusted servo burst signals.
