A magnetic tape of the present invention comprises a plurality of servo bands
and
servo signals for performing tracking-control of a magnetic head, wherein the servo
signals are recorded on the servo bands, wherein a DC magnetization region magnetized
in one direction by direct current is arranged along longitudinal directions of
the magnetic tape on the servo bands, wherein each of the servo signals is magnetized
in a reverse direction for the one direction of a DC magnetization and is recorded
within the DC magnetization region, and wherein any of a relative ratio and relative
difference of DC magnetization intensity in the DC magnetization region and recording
magnetization intensity of each of the servo signals differs for each of the servo bands.
