Abstract

According to one embodiment, there is provided a controller including an interference cancelling module, a boosting module, and a decoding module. The interference cancelling module generates a first correction signal by cancelling an interference component from an adjacent track in a signal read from a target track of a disk medium. The boosting module generates a second correction signal by boosting a low frequency component of a signal corresponding to the first correction signal. The decoding module decodes a signal based on the second correction signal.
