Magnetic tape servo format allowing for increased linear tape density and systems thereof

摘要

According to one embodiment, a magnetic recording tape includes a plurality of servo tracks, each servo track comprising a series of magnetically defined bars having an average height of between about 80 microns and about 120 microns, wherein an average stripe angle of the bars is between about 10° and about 25°. A stripe angle is measured between a longitudinal axis of each respective bar and a line oriented perpendicular to a direction of tape travel and parallel to a plane of the tape, wherein an average stripe width of the bars is between about 1.0 micron and about 2.2 microns and an average servo frame length of groups of the bars comprising a servo frame is between about 120 microns and about 180 microns. In more embodiments, a servo format and a system including a servo format are disclosed, along with other embodiments of magnetic tapes.
