Binary information recorded on magnetic tape is read from the tape and tracked in a manner which is independent of the data pattern on the tape. The time displacement error, TDE (used hereinafter interchangeably) between the data pulses from the tape and a phase-locked-loop reference signal is sampled...http://www.google.fr/patents/US4644420?utm_source=gb-gplus-shareBrevet US4644420 - Circuit and methodology for reading and tracking binary data from magnetic tape independently of the data pattern on the tape
