Further comments on the reciprocity integral for magnetic recording

Abstract

A straightforward and physically motivated derivation of the reciprocity integral in magnetic recording theory is given for the quasi-static limit, where electromagnetic radiation and retardation effects are neglected, but frequency dispersion in the read head from all sources, including eddy currents, is specifically accounted for. This work attempts to correct some errors or misconception on this subject matter that remain in the literature. © 1998 IEEE.
