The present invention relates to repeatable runout (RRO) compensation of servo
control systems that can be used in disc drives or spin-stands. The RRO relates
to eccentricity between servo tracks, which were written onto a disc prior to the
installation of the disc into the disc drive or spin-stand, and an axis of rotation
of the disc. The present invention compensates the servo control loop by canceling
the RRO and controlling a head to follow virtual tracks which are eccentric to
the data tracks defined by the servo tracks and concentric with the axis of rotation
of the disc.
