Abstract

To achieve frequency separation between actuators of a dual-stageservo actuator system in a hard disk drive, the PQ control designmethod can be used. In the PQ method, the servo controller isdesigned by focusing on structural interference of the actuators.This paper provides a specific parametrization for fixed orderfeedback controllers used in the PQ-method for which thestructural interference between actuators can be minimized. Theproposed control design method is applied to a dual-stageinstrumented suspension, where the additional sensor of theinstrumented suspension is used to attenuate high frequencydisturbance caused by windage turbulence in a hard disk drive.
