Original Abstract Submitted
Example channel circuits, data storage devices, and methods for data read synchronization from phase modulated synchronization fields are described. A data synchronization detector may receive an oversampled digital read signal read from a synchronization field that uses a single written pattern to encode the start of data position, phase, and gain for the read channel. The write pattern may use a phase modulated carrier signal to encode a pseudo-random binary sequence indicating the start of data position.
