In Hard disk drive (HDD) single-stage servo system that uses voice coil motor as the sole actuator, the sensitivity hump appears unavoidable due to the Bode's integral theorem, resulting in amplification of disturbances at frequencies higher than the open-loop gain crossover frequency. This paper studies the sensitivity transfer function limitation in HDD dual-stage servo system. A compensation method for the microactuator dynamics, termed as ''near-perfect modeling'' (NPM), is proposed to generate an effective compensated plant model with zero relative degree in order to suppress the sensitivity hump of the dual-stage servo loop. Therefore, high-frequency disturbances would not be amplified by the servo loop. Experimental results show that the sensitivity hump of dual-stage servo loop can be reduced to very close to 0 dB without amplification of the corresponding measurement noise.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
