Full track profile derivative method for read and write width measurements of magnetic recording head

摘要

A method for measuring a magnetic read width MRW of a magnetic read sensor directly from the derivative of a full track profile, with better accuracy and more advantages than the micro-track method was invented and also there is no need to use a separate wide write head. The magnetic write width MWW of the write head, without the influence of sensor side reading, can also be obtained by this method along with the MRW with no additional calculations.
