Interpretation of spectral response in perpendicular recording

A previously published voltage spectrum in perpendicular recording is analyzed here utilizing the exact fields of a probe head and keepered medium. It is concluded that sharp transitions have been written at a negligible spacing. Previous analysis which utilized a duality between a ring head and a probe-keeper head yielded a non-zero spacing or recorded transition length. Measurements of D50for varying record geometries are analyzed in terms of scaling laws.
