title = "A variable sampling-time controller design approach for track-following control in high-performance tape drives",
abstract = "This paper proposes a novel methodology for the design of track-following controllers in tape drive systems that operate at different tape velocities. The proposed method leads to the direct minimization of the worst-case position error signal (PES) standard deviation across different tape velocities, while properly addressing robustness considerations using a mixed H2/H∞ framework. The plant model is obtained by an exact discretization scheme and a discrete-time Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) controller is designed. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.",
