This paper presents an adaptive add-on compensator to handle a single narrow-band disturbance with unknown frequency in hard disk drives (HDDs). A disturbance observer (DOB) loop with a narrow band pass Q filter is built around the baseline servo controller to reject the narrow-band disturbance. The frequency parameter of the Q filter is directly adapted to the optimal value in the sense of minimizing the track following track mis-registration (TMR). The performance of the proposed compensator is demonstrated by simulation on an open-source realistic hard disk drive system.

In this paper, an adaptive control scheme is developed to reject unknown multiple narrow-band disturbances in a hard disk drive. An adaptive notch filter is developed to efficiently estimate the frequencies of the disturbance. Based on the correctly estimated parameters, a disturbance observer with a newly designed multiple band-pass filter is constructed to achieve asymptotic perfect rejection of the disturbance. Evaluation of the control scheme is performed on a benchmark problem for HDD track following.
