In a magnetic disk device, oscillation occurring at a frequency higher than Nyquist frequency is suppressed. In one embodiment, a multi-late filter having a resonance point at a frequency higher than the intended Nyquist frequency is introduced in a previous stage of a controlled object. At that time, since a resonance characteristic of the multi-rate filter is aliased by a sampler, the multi-rate filter is designed such that the resonance point after the aliasing is stabilized in phase by a following compensator.
