In this paper, a robust loop shaping algorithm is developed for the HDD model with delays by using an h ∞ synthesis approach for infinite dimensional systems. The h∞ controller is derived with a structure of an internal feedback loop including an FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filter and an IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) filter, which facilitates non-fragile implementations. Comparisons to other robust control methods are given and the advantages of this approach are demonstrated in terms of improvement of TMR (track misregistration) and tracking TPI (Track-per-Inch) capability.EnglishFinite dimensional approximationFinite-impulse responseHard disk drive servo systemInfinite impulse responseInfinite-dimensional systemInternal feedback loopRobust control methodsRobust controller designAlgorithmsControllersIIR filtersImpulse responseRobust controlServomechanismsHard disk storageConference Paper10.23919/ECC.2013.6669554
