Abstract

An electrical circuit model of the impedance of the inductive write element valid to within 10% up to 9 GHz is developed and used to extract the (complex) inductance of the magnetic part of the head as a function of frequency. Comparison with theoretical eddy-current and ferromagnetic resonance models of the permeability indicates that the dominant loss mechanism in these heads is gyromagnetic damping. Impedance measurements on the magnetic recording head are made using a vector network analyzer.
