  • Abstract
    We consider a particular family of Gray codes having the property that codewords ci and ci+2 differ in a burst of length exactly two. These codes can be applied in the servo track-identification field to identify the correct track during seeks. We call these codes skew-tolerant Gray codes (STGC) and we present explicit constructions
