© 1965-2012 IEEE. The 3-D magnetic recording using the microwave-assisted magnetic recording and a spin-torque oscillator as a reading sensor has been proposed as a candidate of the prospective recording technologies. In our previous research, we have constructed the read/write channel of the envelope model to evaluate a variety of signal processing for the 3-D magnetic recording. In this paper, we apply the low-density parity-check coding and iterative decoding system including turbo equalization to the 3-D magnetic recording channel model with dot position fluctuation and evaluate the bit error rate performance by the computer simulation. The results clarify that the tolerance of dot position fluctuation which 'no errors' is able to be achieved.

© 1965-2012 IEEE. This paper focuses on the shingled magnetic recording (SMR) as the recording system for further high-density hard disk drives. Previously, we applied a log-likelihood ratio (LLR) modulator to the low-density parity check coding and iterative decoding system in SMR to improve the decoding performance. In this paper, we propose a new LLR modulator using neural network. Furthermore, we clarify that the proposed LLR modulator using neural network realizes effective iterative decoding in a read/write channel with pattern-dependent medium noise.

In this article, we propose the detection method of the recorded data pattern by the envelope of the temporal magnetization dynamics of resonantly interacting spin-torque oscillator on the microwave assisted magnetic recording for three-dimensional magnetic recording. We simulate the envelope of the waveform from recorded dots with the staggered magnetization configuration, which are calculated by using a micromagnetic simulation. We study the data detection methods for the envelope and propose a soft-output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA) for partial response (PR) system as a signal processing system for three dimensional magnetic recording.

IEEE The 3-D magnetic recording using microwave-assisted magnetic recording has been proposed as one of the prospective recording technologies which uses a spin-torque oscillator (STO) as a reading sensor as well as a write-assisting device. In the reading process using an STO, the reproducing waveform is given as temporal dynamics of magnetization. We simulate the envelope of the waveform from recorded dots with the staggered magnetization configuration, which are calculated by using a micromagnetic simulation. We propose an envelope demodulation using two temporal magnetization dynamics from dual STO, and evaluate the bit error rate (BER) performance for partial response maximum likelihood system by the computer simulation. The result shows that our proposed system provides the signal-to-noise ratio improvement of 2.7 dB at the BER of 10⁻⁴.

IEEE In recent years, shingled magnetic recording (SMR) has attracted attention as a new recording system of the hard disk drives. Although SMR can realize narrow track by overwriting data track like tile roofing, it has remarkable performance deterioration due to the influence of inter-track interference. Therefore, the performance improvement of the low-density parity-check (LDPC) coding and iterative decoding system using the sum-product decoding is required. In this paper, we propose the LDPC encoding and iterative decoding system with the log-likelihood ratio modulator and show the error floor is eliminated and improvement of signal-to-noise ratio to achieve the error free is obtained in the SMR under an areal recording density of 4 Tbits/in$²$ specification for the channel bit sequence coded by run-length limited and LDPC encoders by computer simulation. Therefore, the channel bit is composed bit about five magnetic grains.

The shingled magnetic recording (SMR) system is influenced by not only jitter-like medium noise from adjacent bits in the down-track direction but also intertrack interference (ITI) from the adjacent tracks. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between the recording pattern and the decoding reliability by classifying the log-likelihood ratio at the a posteriori probability decoder output according to the recording patterns under an SMR R-W channel specification of 4 Tb/in(2) by computer simulation. The result shows that the decoding reliability for the recording pattern "010" heavily affected by transition jitter is the lowest and little improved even if the influence of ITI is mitigated by a 2-D finite-impulse response filter.

Two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR), which combines shingled magnetic recording (SMR) with 2-D signal processing attracts attention from the hard disk drive industry. SMR is a magnetic recording system in order to increase the track density by writing tracks without the guard band. Therefore, the influences of writing and reading intertrack interferences (ITIs) deteriorate the quality of reproducing waveforms. Additionally, degradation of track due to overwriting and crosstalk from the adjacent tracks due to the width of reader sensitivity. The equalization using 2-D finite impulse response filter for the waveforms from three adjacent tracks is proposed as a method to reduce the influence of reading ITIs. In this paper, we evaluate the bit aspect ratio (BAR) in TDMR read/write channel under a specification of 4 Tb/in(2) using bit error rate of the low-density parity-check (LDPC) coding and iterative decoding system obtained by computer simulation. The results show that the suitable BAR in array head reading is 2.0.

Two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR) by shingled magnetic recording (SMR) draws attention as a next generation technology to increase the recording density in hard disk drive (HDD). It is shown that the two-dimensional finite impulse response (2D-FIR) filter provides gain the reproducing waveforms from an array head with 3 readers in the TDMR under a specification of 4 Tbit/inch.(2) We evaluate the effect of the intertrack interference (ITI) reduction by 2D-FIR using the correlation between the real FIR filter output and the partial response class-I (PR1) signal corresponding to recording sequence by the computer simulation. The results show that the 2D-FIR filter is effective to mitigate ITI and improves the signal-to-noise ratio at the discriminate point by about 0.6 dB. (C) 2017 Author(s).

This paper proposes a utilization of multiple read heads to predict and correct a track mis-registration (TMR) in bit-patterned media recording (BPMR) based on the readback signals. We propose to use the signal energy ratio between the upper and lower tracks from multiple read heads to estimate the TMR level. Then, a pair of two-dimensional (2D) target and its corresponding 2D equalizer associated with the estimated TMR will be chosen to correct the TMR in the data detection process. Numerical results show that the proposed system can achieve a very high accuracy of TMR prediction, thus performing better than the conventional system, especially when TMR is severe.

The 2-D magnetic recording (TDMR) by shingled magnetic recording (SMR) draws attention as a technology to increase the recording densities in a hard disk drive. The magnetization pattern is curved by the write field at the corner of the writer in SMR, and the information to read/write (R/W) channel performance is feared. Therefore, it is possible that the bit error rate performance is improved by fitting the reader sensitivity to the bit shape. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of reader sensitivity rotation in the TDMR R/W channel with head skew under a specification of 4 wTb/in(2) by computer simulation, applying the low-density parity-check coding and the iterative decoding system with the 2-D finite impulse response filter. The results show that the rotated reader sensitivity fits the recorded bit magnetization shape, and the error-free skew range increases to -3 degrees similar to 6 degrees. Therefore, the reader sensitivity rotation is considered to be an effective way to improve the skew margin in the TDMR system.

The move from traditional single-track magnetic recording to two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR) with squeezed tracks and multiple readers opens up new design degrees of freedom beyond the track pitch and bit-aspect ratio, including the widths, spacing, and crosstrack positions of the readers. In this paper, we present a systematic method for determining the combination of multi-reader geometry, track pitch, and bit-aspect ratio that maximizes the areal density of a TDMR system using single-track detectors. The method combines realistic modeling of the medium and write/read processes, advanced signal detection, and information-theoretic tools. For the particular head and medium we consider, the two-reader geometry that maximizes areal density with zero skew and zero misregistration was found to use different-sized readers (the smaller having a full-width at half-maximum width, i.e., 96% of the track pitch and the larger having a width, i.e., 148% of the track pitch) with significant overlap in the crosstrack direction (centers spaced by one eighth of the track pitch). The optimal bit-aspect ratio was 2.2. At the optimal operating point, the information rate per coded bit is 0.8.

Tape systems experience large speed variations compared to disk systems, and therefore, it is necessary to design a stable timing recovery scheme that can operate under a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) condition. In such low SNR scenarios, the decision error made by the detector often results in a phase-locked loop circuit losing track of the correct signal. This phenomenon is often called the loss-of-lock (LOL) phenomenon. In order to mitigate the LOL issue, soft information from the soft output Viterbi algorithm decoder is used to control the feedback in the timing recovery loop. Therefore, a timing recovery method for high-density tape storage system is studied in this paper. By applying this new method to the read back signal from the actual tape drive, it is verified that the negative effect of misdetection due to unreliable decisions from the detector can be compensated, with only a minor increase in implementation complexity.

Since tape systems suffer from large speed variations compared with disk systems, the design of a stable timing recovery scheme that can operate under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions is important. In such low SNR scenarios, decision errors made by the detector occasionally cause the phase-locked loop circuit to lose track of the correct signal, which is often called the loss-of-lock (LOL) phenomenon. In order to mitigate the LOL issue, soft information from the Viterbi detector is utilized. It is clarified that the negative effect of unreliable decisions from the detector can be compensated for by dynamically controlling the feedback gain of the timing recovery loop as a function of decision reliability. It is shown that the LOL rate performance can be improved by this approach, with only a minor increase in the implementation complexity.

This paper presents the results of a comprehensive study of the shingled writing process and various signal processing and data detection approaches applied to the readback waveforms. The recording simulations include realistic head fields, a random granular media, magnetostatic and exchange interactions, and a READ head sensitivity function. Readback waveforms are examined in both one and two dimensions in terms of signal characteristics (linear and nonlinear), noise behavior (stationary and signal-dependent), and intertrack interference. Different equalization and detection approaches are compared and about a 10% density gain is reported for such 2-D magnetic recording compared with traditional single-track recording. These gains depend strongly on the number of readers, the reader positioning, and the reader width.

The two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR) by shingled magnetic recording needs two-dimensional (TD) signal processing using the multiple read-back waveforms. In this paper, to allocate dual readers (reader 1 and 2) for the intended tracks, we evaluate the bit error rate (BER) performance of a low-density parity-check coding and iterative decoding system with a TD-finite impulse response equalizer under TDMR R/W channel specifications of 4 Tb/in(2). Here, the TDMR R/W channel is modeled using a discretized granular medium and the writing process based on a slope model considering the media switching field angle given by the Stoner-Walfarth reversal mechanism. The result shows that to affect the good BER performance, the reader 1 should be placed slightly toward the next track from the center of the home track, and the reader 2 should be placed around the boundary between the home and following tracks.

Bit-patterned medium (BPM) is one of the promising approaches for ultra-high density magnetic recording systems. However, BPM requires precise write synchronization, and exhibits write-errors due to insufficient write field gradient, medium switching field distribution (SFD), demagnetization field from adjacent islands, and island position variation. In this paper, an iterative decoding system using a non-binary low-density parity-check (LDPC) code is considered for a BPM R/W channel with write-errors at an areal recording density of 2 Tbit/inch(2) including the coding rate loss. The performance of the iterative decoding system using the non-binary LDPC code over the Galois field GF(2(8)) is evaluated by computer simulation, and it is compared with the conventional iterative decoding system using a binary LDPC code. The results show that the non-binary LDPC system has a larger write margin than the binary LDPC system.

In this paper, the influence of the intertrack interference (ITI) at writing in shingled magnetic recording (SMR) as well as at reading is examined using a read/write model based on recording on a medium composed of discrete Voronoi diagram by a triangular writer with trailing and one-side shields. Two kinds of ITI's at writing which affect the magnetic grains on the track currently being written and the previously recorded track are shown. One is that a part of signal on the previously recorded track remains on the current track due to lack of writing ability of writer. Another is that a part of signal is erased by the next-track writing. The effects are caused from the adjacent tracks at writing. Additionally the ITI at reading deteriorates the read-back waveform. Consequently these ITI's bring the decoding errors. The results by computer simulation using above R/W model show that the decoding errors occur in the low density parts of track which were originally considered to be hard to make errors.

Two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR) by shingled magnetic recording (SMR) is one of the most promising technologies for realizing high areal densities. The read/write (R/W) channel model based on a discrete Voronoi model is relatively easily implemented to evaluate the performance of signal processing for TDMR. The nonbinary low-density parity-check (LDPC) coding and iterative decoding system provides the better performance compared with the conventional binary LDPC coding system. Furthermore, a two-dimensional equalizer (2D-EQ) can mitigate the influence of the intertrack interference (ITI) in TDMR. In this paper, the symbol-by-symbol turbo equalizer which consists of a symbol-by-symbol a posteriori probability (APP) decoder for a generalized partial response class-I (GPR1) channelwith a 2D-EQ and a sum-product (SP) decoder for a nonbinary LDPC coder overGalois field GF (2(8)) of is evaluated by computer simulation at an areal recording density of 4.12 Tbit/in(2). The result shows that the symbol-by-symbol turbo equalizing system provides an SNR improvement of about 3.7 dB over the bit-by-bit turbo equalizing system.

Furthermore it is clarified that in order to obtain the sufficient write-margin, it is important to suppress the influence of the demagnetization fields from adjacent islands.

The magnetic recording system using a bit-patterned medium (BPM) has serious problems such as the need of the precise write-synchronization to correctly write the recording sequence on each intended island and the write-errors caused by the insufficient write field gradient, the medium switching field distribution (SFD), the demagnetization fields from adjacent islands, and the island position variation. In this paper, the influences of the SFD and the demagnetization fields from adjacent islands on the write-margin of the low-density parity-check (LDPC) coding and iterative decoding system is studied in the BPM R/W channel with write-errors at an areal recording density of 2 Tbit/inch(2). It is clarified that in order to obtain the sufficient write-margin, it is important to suppress the influence of the demagnetization fields from adjacent islands.

An accurate medium modeling method of discretized granular medium with non-magnetic grain boundaries using a discrete Voronoi diagram is proposed for two-dimensional magnetic recording. A simple closed-form representation of a double-shielded reader sensitivity function is also proposed for modeling the reading process. Moreover, a two-dimensional neural network equalizer (2D-NNE) is proposed to mitigate the influence of intertrack interference and jitter-like medium noise. The bit-error rate performance of partial response class-I maximum likelihood (PR1ML) system with the 2D-NNE is obtained by computer simulation based on the proposed read/write channel model. The performance is far superior to that of PR1ML system with a two-dimensional finite impulse response equalizer.

In this paper, the iterative decoding system using the nonbinary low-density parity-check (LDPC) code is studied in the magnetic recording system using a bit-patterned media (BPM) R/W channel affected by the write head field gradient, the media switching field distribution (SFD), the demagnetization field from adjacent dots, and the dot position deviation in an areal recording density of 2 Tb/in(2). The performance of iterative decoding system using the nonbinary LDPC code over Galois field of GF(2(8)) is evaluated by the computer simulation, and it is compared with the conventional iterative decoding system using the binary LDPC code. The results show that the nonbinary LDPC system provides better performance compared with the binary LDPC system.

The performance of an iterative decoding system is evaluated in shingled magnetic recording (SMR). The medium model is made by a discrete Voronoi model, and the 2-D sensitivity function of reader is used to obtain the reproducing waveform. As the sensitivity function extends to adjacent tracks, intertrack interference (ITI) deteriorates the signal detection system. In order to recover the intrinsic performance, it is required to reduce the influence of ITI to the system. Then, the ITI canceller is employed to combat ITI for the iterative decoding system, and the performance is evaluated by computer simulation. The results show that the introduction of ITI canceller improves the bit-error-rate performance in SMR system.

In this paper, we propose a new method to estimate and effectively reduce the effect of thermal asperity (TA) in the perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) channels with the state trellis. The TA is estimated from the state trellis, then its average is used to modify the equalized signal entering the Viterbi detector. For the partial response (PR) targets with DC component, the proposed method with a maximum-likelihood detector can improve the bit error rate performance by more than an order of magnitude when TA occurs and degrades when the giant magneto-resistive (GMR) nonlinearity and base line wander (BLW) effects are present. Unlike the previous studies, this method allows the use of PR targets with DC component under the presence of TA.

Shingled magnetic recording attracts much attention as a new recording system for hard disk drive to make the narrower track than the writer-track-width. However, the issue for reading by a wider reader than the track width on the media remains, and the inter-track interference (ITI) from adjacent tracks causes the performance deterioration.

The neural network equalizer (NNE) for the generalized partial response maximum likelihood (GPRML) system with a postprocessor in perpendicular magnetic recording is studied. First, a new designing method of NNE is proposed for suppressing frequency of a high-level noise at the discrimination point which degrades the bit error rate (BER) performance of the GPRML system with a post-processor. Then, the BER performance of GPR class-1 ML system with a post-processor using the NNE is obtained and compared with that using a conventional transversal filter as an equalizer. The result shows that the gain of the former over the latter is about 0.6 dB at a BER of 10-5. © 2011 Published by Elsevier B.V.

The results show that the BER performance of simplified NI is superior to that of the interpolator alone. Furthermore, the number of connections in the simplified NI is reduced to about half of that obtained by using a conventional mutation method. In addition, the proposed mutation method shows the slightly-improved performance over the conventional one.

The magnetic recording system using BPM has a serious problem of requiring precise write synchronization to correctly write the recording sequence on each intended island. In this paper, an error locator using the parity-check matrix of LDPC code is utilized to curb the influence of write error on the iterative decoding process. The performance of the proposed system with the error locator is evaluated by computer simulation for magnetic recording system using BPM with synchronization write error at a recording density of 2 Tb/in(2) and it is compared with a conventional Reed-Solomon (RS) encoding and decoding system. The results show that the proposed system provides better performance.

A new design method of the simplified neural network equalizer (NNE) with the noise whitening function for a generalized partial response (GPR) channel is proposed. The long-term bit error rate performance of GPR class-I maximum likelihood (GPR1ML) system employing NNE in perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) channel with thermal decay is also obtained by computer simulation using our thermal decay model for a CoPtCr-SiO2 PMR medium with KuV/kT = 60. The performance of GPR1ML system with NNE (GPR1ML-NNE) is superior to that of GPR1ML with a transversal filter equalizer. The PR1ML system using a noise whitening NNE and a two-state Viterbi detector provides almost equivalent performance to that of GPR1ML-NNE having a 16-state detector.

Nonlinear transition shift (NLTS) influences the performance of PRML channels in perpendicular magnetic recording. For NLTS, it is thought that write pre-compensation is useful to write the transition at the intended position. In this paper, we study the influence of NLTS on the BER performance of GPRML channels and show the appropriate amount of pre-compensation for GPRML channels both with and without a post-processor (PP) to achieve better BER performance. The results show that the widening the shortest bit length by NLTS brings the BER improvement to GPRML channel and the write pre-compensation is useful for a GPRML channel with PP.

Although the investigation of this paper was not practical but theoretical, the result shows that the permissible percentage of ITI for conventional Viterbi detection to attain better performance compared with the case of single track is 26%, while the percentage for the proposed one is improved up to 50%. Further investigation has to be required under a more realistic system and moreover may be expanded into patterned media perpendicular magnetic recording. (C) 2008 Elsevier B. V.

The bit-error rate (BER) performance of the generalized partial response maximum likelihood with autoregressive (GPRML-AR) channel model system in perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) channel with thermal decay is obtained. The 128/130(0,16/8) run-length-limited (RLL) code is used as a recording code. The GPR channel consists of the PR1 channel followed by the reduction circuit of predicted noise. The BER performance is evaluated by computer simulation using a thermal decay model. The model has been obtained by using an approximate equation that represents amplitude degradation of the reproducing waveform with elapsed time based on the experimental data for CoPtCr-SiO(2) PMR media. The Viterbi detector with an AR channel model is employed. Furthermore, long-term degradation of the required SNR to achieve a BER of 10(-4) with elapsed time is obtained and the performance is compared with that of PR1ML system. The results show that the poorer the thermal stability of the medium becomes, the larger the SNR gain of the GPR1ML-AR system over the PR1ML system becomes. The SNR gain also increases with elapsed time. (C) 2008 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.

In this paper, a new burst detection method using the check matrix of low-density parity-check (LDPC) code is proposed. The burst detection for the bit flipping burst-like signal degradation which the conventional burst detection using a reproducing waveform, an equalizer output, an a posteriori probability (APP) decoder output and so on cannot detect is studied. The performance of the LDPC coding and iterative decoding system with the proposed burst detector is evaluated by computer simulation for a perpendicular magnetic recording channel with bit flipping burst-like signal degradation, and it is compared with that of the RS encoding and decoding system using the erasure correction. The results show that the LDPC coding and iterative decoding system with our burst detector shows the better performance and has the resistance to the bit flipping burst-like signal degradation of about 1500 bits.

In this paper, a burst detection scheme using a parity check matrix of LDPC code is described for the perpendicular magnetic recording using a bit-pattered medium. It is assumed that the burst-like bit-flipping occurs due to missing the write synchronization. The phenomenon cannot be detected as a signal decay and significantly degrades the performance of the LDPC coding and iterative decoding system. Therefore, a good alternative detector is required in order to keep the performance. The LDPC coding and iterative decoding system is evaluated by the computer simulation in a perpendicular magnetic recording channel using a bit-patterned medium with the burst-like bit-flipping. It is clarified that the LDPC coding and iterative decoding system with a burst detector has the resistance to a burst-like bit-flipping of 200 bits.

Read channels such as PRML systems are key technologies in HDD design, and are often evaluated by computer simulation using a read/write channel model as well as an actual R/W channel such as a spin-stand. In PRML read-channel simulations, signicant phenomena such as media noise, MR nonlinearity and thermal asperity should be taken into account, in order to make the simulation results similar to those obtained with a virtual drive. In this review, magnetic recording channel simulation is explained by adopting a perpendicular magnetic recording R/W channel model that takes account of the above phenomena.

In a hard disk drive (HDD), a postprocessor is used for correcting the random error in a PRML (Partial Response Maximum Likelihood) channel. However, the postprocessor needs an error-detecting code, such as a single parity check code, and the code rate decreases. This paper proposes an erasure correction by Reed-Solomon (RS) code using Squaredv Distance-Increase (SDI) instead of a postprocessor. This system does not need any error detecting code. The performance is obtained by computer simulation and is compared with that of the error correction system using a postprocessor. The results show that the proposed system provides an SNR improvement of about 2.6dB compared with the system using a postprocessor in a perpendicular magnetic recording channel with random and burst errors.

In this study, we investigate the influence of overwrite (O/W) noise on the performance of PRML channels in a perpendicular magnetic recording system in order to find the good PRML channels. The results show that the performance of PRML systems degrades if the SNR for overwrite noise is less than 35 dB and the noise-predictive PRML system is also effective for minimizing the influence of O/W noise on the performance.

In this paper, the interactive processing between a partial-response maximum-likelihood (PRML) channel and a decoder for the Reed-Solomon (RS) code is studied in perpendicular magnetic recording channel. Whereas in conventional systems a run-length-limited (RLL) encoder/decoder is insides the RS encoder/decoder, in this paper, we permute their positions so that the PRML channel and RS decoder can interact. Accordingly, the RS decoder can acquire reliability information from a PRML, channel without interruption by the RLL decoder. It is demonstrated by computer simulation that the proposed system proAdes an SNR improvement of 0.8-1.1 dB compared vvith a conventional system at a linear density normalized by user bit interval, K, of 1.5.

The remarkable increase in the recording density of hard disk drives (HDDs) owes much to the improvement of signal-processing technologies. Current commercial HDDs use longitudinal recording, and the recording density is coming close to the superparamagnetic limit. Thus, perpendicular magnetic recording is being widely studied as a promising recording system for achieving high-density recording. To achieve this, however, requires the development of excellent signal-processing, as in the case of longitudinal recording systems. In this paper, we first explain PRML systems as fundamental signal-processing technologies for perpendicular magnetic recording. We then describe jitter-like medium noise (JLMN) and its influence on the performance of PRML systems from the signal-processing point of view, and show the effect of noise-predictive PRML systems on JLMN. We also introduce iterative decoding systems capable of improving the performance significantly.

We studied an improvement in the error rate performance of the PRML system in perpendicular magnetic recording. We improved the decoder performance by adopting an AR channel model in the estimation calculation of the input sequence in Viterbi decoding. We determined the required signal-to-noise ratio at the readout point and the line recording density needed to achieve a bit error rate of 10(-4) from computer simulations and recording and playback tests using a spinstand, and compared them to a conventional PRML system. The results clearly showed improved performance in the PRML system by using a Viterbi decoder employing the AR channel model. (C) 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The distortion due to low frequency cutoff degrades the performance of partial response maximum likelihood(PRML) system in a perpendicular magnetic recording. This paper presents an application of guided scrambling(GS) code to PRML system as an effective strategy for avoiding the distortion. The bit error rate performances of PR2ML systems for two types of GS codes, Galois field (GF) additive type and convolutional operation type, are obtained. The results indicate that GS coded PR2ML systems can achieve gains of about 6.3dB for GF additive type code and 4.4 dB for convolutional operation type code over conventional Reed-Solomon coded PR2ML system at a normalized linear density of 1.5, a power ratio of jitter-like media noise to total noise of 80% and a low-cutoff frequency normalized by bit rate of 0.002.

Recently, the encoding/decoding systems based on concatenated codes with several error correction codes are actively studied and effective performance improvements are obtained. In this report, the system for recoding code is proposed using a high dimensional parity check code known as a concatenated code with high error correction capability in digital communication. Especially, our soft decision decoding method is based on error detection using a parity check (tentative decision) and threshold decision for the reliability of error symbols (final decision). As a result, it is clear that the performances of these parity check codes are superior to that of the conventional 16/17(0,6/6) code.

The performance of a partial response maximum likelihood (PRML) system in perpendicular magnetic recording that uses double-layered media perpendicular to the MR head is evaluated. The codes of (1,7) RLL and 16/17 (0,6/6), which are commonly used in modern hard disk equipment, are used as the recording codes. The relationship between the normalized linear density and the desired 4 SNR at the reading point for a bit error rate of 10(-4) is determined from a computer simulation, assuming equalization by a transversal filter, and a comparative study is performed. It is shown that a (1,7) RLL coded PRML system has better performance when the recording density is comparatively low. For high recording density, a 16/17 (0,6/6) coded PRML system has shown better performance. (C) 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this work, the coded partial response (PR) system based on serially concatenated error control codes is described. The component codes of the concatenated codes are a low density parity check (LDPC) code and a punctured convolutional (PC) code. In our system, the LDPC code is used as an inner code and is an important random code which can approach Shannon's capacity limit. A practical decoding method of the LDPC code is known as the sum-product decoding algorithm or belief propagation. Furthermore, the PC code is used for an outer code and can enhance the minimum squared Euclidean distance for the coded PR system. The sequence of the PC code has a single parity check capability for the concatenated coding.

The effective signal processing system for jitter-like medium noise is required in a perpendicular magnetic recording. In this paper, a post-processor is studied for PRML system using AR (Autoregressive) channel model which has a good performance in the perpendicular magnetic recording system where jitter-like medium noise is dominant. An interleaved parity check coding to search an error event and the method to identify the position of the error are proposed. Furthermore, the performance is evaluated in a real channel on a spinstand with a read/write head, which consist of a single pole type head and a GMR head, and a perpendicular recording medium. The results show that the linear density of our system improves about 16% (100kBPI) compared with that of the conventional PR1ML system.

Turbo coding is widely known as one of effective error control coding techniques in various digital communication systems since this coding method has proposed by C. Berrou, etc in 1993. In digital magnetic recording, it has been cleared that the error correcting capability of turbo coding is superior to most of conventional recording codes as a matter of course. But, the performance of a partial response maximum-likelihood (PRML) system combined with any recording code is degraded by many undesirable factors or effects. To improve the performance of the PRML system in high areal density recording, it is useful to adopt a higher order PRML system or high rate code in a general case. In this paper, the rate 32/34 turbo code combined with an enhanced extended class-4 partial response (E(2)PR4) is proposed. We call this trellis coded partial response (TCPR) system the rate 32/34 turbo-coded E(2)PR4 (32/34 TC-E(2)PR4). Our proposed TCPR system can be expected to get large coding gain and improve the performance of PRML system. As a result, the proposed coding system provides a good performance compared with the conventional systems. In especial, our system can achieve a BER of 10(-5) with SNR of approximately 1.5 dB less than the conventional 8/9 maximum transition run (MTR) coded E(2)PR4ML system at a normalized linear density of 3.

Trellis codes are a form of recording codes considered to have good compatibility with PRML systems, which are signal-processing systems that are effective for digital magnetic recording. In this paper, trellis codes which are compatible with PR4 and EPR4 are constructed by a set partitioning method. The best trellis codes are constructed by defining a signal constellation on the basis of output symbols allowing a partial response scheme and by partially dividing sets on a multidimensional Euclidean space. It is shown that trellis codes having a coding rate of 9/10 and bundle lengths of 6 and 7 can be obtained for PR4 and EPR4 systems using Nyquist equalization, and that the SN ratios are improved by 2.4 and 2.3 dB for the existing 8/9 (0,4/4) codes for the PR4 system and 16/17 (0,6/6) codes for the EPR4 system at a bit error rate of 10(-4).

In various digital wireless communication systems, it is known that turbo coding provides an error rate performance within a few tenths of a dB of the theoretical Shannon limit. The error correcting capability of turbo coding is attractive for a recording code in a digital magnetic recording system. The performance of a partial response maximum-likelihood (PRML) system with any recording code is degraded by many undesirable factors such as linear and nonlinear distortions. For improving the performance of the PRML system, it is useful to adopt a high-order PRML system or high rate code in general. In this paper, the two-track recording system using turbo coding which can increase the coding rate over 1 and improve the performance is proposed. Turbo-coding provides a near-ML performance by the suboptimum symbol-by-symbol maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) decoding algorithm. Our proposed turbo-coded class 4 partial response (PR4) systems use the rate 4/6, 8/10 and 16/18 turbo codes for high-density two;track-digital magnetic recording. The error rate performance is obtained by computer simulation, taking account of the partial erasure which is a prominent nonlinear distortion in high-density recording. As a result, the proposed systems are hardly affected by partial erasure and maintains good performance compared with the convectional NRZ coded PR4ML system.

Recently, it is widely known that the partial response maximum-likelihood (PRML) system has attracted much attention as one of indispensable signal processing technique for achieving high density digital magnetic recording. But, the performance of PRML system is degraded by many undesirable causes in recording channel. For improving the performance, it is desirable to use any high order PRML system or high rate code. Our proposed two-track recording method increases the coding rate over 1, and contributes to decrease these degradation effects. The recording code in our system adopts a turbo code which provides a substantial near-ML performance by the suboptimum iterative decoding algorithm. In this paper, the turbo coded class four partial response (PR4) systems using the rate 4/6, 8/10 and 16/18 codes for high density two track digital magnetic recording are proposed. The error rate performance of the proposed system is obtained by computer simulation taking account of the partial erasure, which is one of nonlinear distortions at high densities. The performance of our system is compared with that of the conventional NRZ coded PR4ML system. The result shows that the proposed system is hardly affected by partial erasure and keeps good performance in high density recording. In especial, the proposed system using the rate 16/18 turbo code can achieve a bit error rate of 10-4 with SNR of approximately 12.2 dB less than the conventional NRZ coded PR4ML systems at a normalized linear density of 3.

Reproduced waveforms at linear densities of 150 to 300 kBPI were acquired by recording and reading-back experiments using a perpendicular single-layer medium, and dibit responses ware derived from these waveforms. Using these responses were derived from these waveforms. Using these responses in computer simulation, the performance of PRML systems for (1,7) RLL code was estimated from the SNR required at the reading point to achieve a bit-error rate of 10^&lt;-4&gt;.

A conventional 8/10 MSN code was constructed so as not to generate a quasi-catastrophic sequence in the decoder trellis diagram, and needing sliding block decoders. In this article, a new 8/10 MSN code is designed by using a periodically time-varying trellis diagram. The proposed code has an improved squared Euclidean distance distribution between PR output sequences and an improved number of paired codewords that have minimum squared free Euclidean distance decreases as compared with the conventional code. Further, this code can be decoded simply by referring codeword sequences corresponding to data sequences in a look-up table, needing no sliding block decoder. As a result, the proposed 8/10 MSN-coded PR4ML system can provide about 0.8 dB SNR gain over the conventional system at a bit error rate of 10(-4) and a normalized linear density of 3.

In this system, convolutional coding is used for recording and two-track coded recording is carried out after using the punctured method. In this study, the error rate performance was simulated by a computer to compare this system with the conventional I-NRZI coded PR4ML system. Our system was found to have superior characteristics in high-density recording, and an error rate of 10(-4) could be achieved for a normalized linear density of K = 3, even when the SN ratio was about 3.8 dB lower at the reading point than in the conventional system.

A method to construct trellis codes matched to class-4 partial response (PR4) and exteded class-4 partial response (EPR4) channels is studied. This coding method is based on the technique of set partitioning. In our method, all allowable output symbols from a partial response channel are defined as a signal constellation in Euclidean space and each subset decomposition of defined signal constellation is adopted in a multidimensional Euclidean space. Using this code construction technique, we can find optimal trellis coding and analyze a code structure easily and effectively. As a result of this coding technique, it is shown that the rate 9/10 trellis codes with a constraint length of 6 or 7 can provide about 2.4,2.3dB advantage over the conventional rate 8/9 (0,4/4) code in a PR4ML and 16/17 (0,6/6) code in an EPR4ML equalizations at a bit error rate of 10^<-4>, respectively.

The neural network equalization for the read/write data using a spin-stand is studied. As a recording code, the (1,7) RLL code is used and the readback waveform influenced by a nonlinear distortion in MR head is equalized to EPR4 characteristic by a three-layered neural network. For the read/write data at a recording density of 165 kFCI, the equalization characteristics and the bit-error rate of the EPR4ML sytem are obtained by computer simulation and are compared with those for a conventional Nyquist equalization. The results show that the neural network equalizer can effectively mitigate the effect of a nonlinear distortion in MR head and provide a significant performance improvement.

A punctured convolutional coded PR4ML system for digital magnetic recording, which applies a punctured coding method to the convolutional code and records the punctured code sequences on two tracks, is proposed. In this study, the bit error rate performance of the proposed system is obtained by computer simulation taking account of partial erasure, which is one of the nonlinear distortions at high densities, and it is compared with those of a conventional 8/9 coded PR4ML system and an I-NRZI coded PR4ML system. The results show that the proposed system is hardly affected by partial erasure and exhibits good performance in high-density recording. A bit error rate of 10-4 can be achieved with SNR&#039;s of approximately 13.2 dB and 9.1 dB less than those of the conventional 8/9 coded and I-NRZI coded PR4ML systems, respectively, at a normalized linear density of 3.

A TCPR system for high density two track digital magnetic recording is proposed. In our system, a reduction in the channel rate due to convolutional coding is avoidable because a two track recording method improves the rate, and the number of ACS's in our system based on the syndrome decoding is fewer than that of the conventional Viterbi decoding. The results show that the proposed system keeps good performance in high density recording and saves SNR by about 3.6dB compared with the conventional NRZ coded PR4ML system at a normalized liner density of 3 and a bit error rate of 10^<-4>.

The error rate of the partial response maximum-likelihood (PRML) system for a partial response channel with a (1 + D-l)(n)(1 - D-m) type transfer function in digital magnetic recording was systematically investigated. In this paper, first, the method of systematically finding a PRML system with a large signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the discrimination point and a large improvement of the SNR by Viterbi decoding is discussed. Using the result, a PRML system which shows an excellent performance is proposed. Next, a theoretical equation for the error rate is obtained as a function of the correlation between the noise sequences at the Viterbi decoder input and the error rate performance is compared. Using the results, it is shown that the PR(1, 2, 1, -1, -2, -1) system gives the best error rate performance. (C) 1997 Scripta Technica, Inc.

Simplification of the Viterbi algorithm and the error rate performance are presented for a partial response maximum-likelihood (PRML) system employing the PR(1,1) system as a PR system for (1,7) run-length limited (RLL) code. The minimum run-length of 1's or 0's in the output sequence of the precoder for (1,7) RLL code is limited to 2. Two kinds of simplified Viterbi algorithms using this run-length constraint are proposed. One algorithm requires the path memory length of only two in the Viterbi detector. The Viterbi detector based on the other algorithm is equivalent to the simple PR(1,1) system followed by a threshold detector. The bit-error rates of PRML systems with Viterbi detectors based on these algorithms are obtained by computer simulation and their performance is compared with that of conventional PRML systems for (1,7) RLL code. It is shown that the proposed PRML system exhibits better performance than conventional PRML systems at high recording density.

A new partial response (PR) channel which contains the write equalizer in addition to conventional PR channel is proposed. Our write equalizer outputs DC-free waveforms of two levels. Our read equalizer can reduce high-frequency noise, and what is more, it has little degradation of eye opening. The PR channels in combination with Viterbi decoder give partial response maximum-likelihood (PRML) systems which exhibit a good performance. The bit error rates for several PRML systems are obtained by computer simulation, where a Lorentzian channel with additive white Gaussian noise is assumed. The results shows that PR(1,1,-1,-1) system has an excellent performance in high density recording for a system in which the small transition spacings required by our write equalization is allowed. © 1995 IEEE

This paper proposes the (4, 5, 6)/11 code, which is a new n/m code, constrained in that the minimum runlength of symbol ''0'' in the codeword is 2 and is suited to PR(1, 1) equalization. In PR(1) equalization, a pseudo-PR(1, 1) characteristic is obtained by shifting the sampling points by T-S/2 (where T-S is the symbol interval). Assuming that the conventional Viterbi decoding is applied to the (4, 5, 6)/11 code, the error-rate characteristic is examined by simulation, and the result is compared to that of the well-known 4/11 code. It is shown as a result that the(4, 5, 6)/11 code has an excellent performance. Then a modified Viterbi decoding is considered by utilizing the run-length constraint, and the performance is evaluated.
The colored noise sequence is approximated by a simple Markov process and another modified Viterbi decoding utilizing the correlation of the noise sequence also is considered. It is shown as a result that the CN ratio is improved compared to the conventional Viterbi decoding by about 1.0 dB in the former and about 2.7 dB in the latter, at the error rate of 10(-4).

The partial response (PR) system is believed to be an important scheme for signal processing in high‐density digital magnetic recording. This paper discusses the improvement in performance of the PR(1, 0m ‐ 1, ‐1) system, which is one of the PR systems. With increasing recording density, a high‐frequency noise due to the compensation for a high‐frequency attenuation increases significantly and accordingly a signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) becomes lower, which is also tied to the inherent high‐frequency boost characteristics of PR(1, 0m ‐ 1, ‐1). Also proposed is a new PR system and a signal‐detection method by which one can expect to improve the characteristics by using an intersymbol interference for a signal detection caused by suppressing a high‐frequency noise through a bandwidth limitation in PR(1, 0m ‐ 1, ‐1). For the proposed system and the conventional PR(1, 0m ‐ 1, ‐1) system, the SNR required to achieve a bit error rate of 10−8 is obtained. It is confirmed that the proposed system provides a better performance than the conventional system. Copyright © 1993 Wiley Periodicals, Inc., A Wiley Company

DC freeing of the write waveform is an important technique in digital magnetic recording. The higher the recording density is, the stronger the effect of high frequency noise becomes. We use the DC-freeing technique of write equalization to boost high frequency on the write side, and read equalization with which we can reduce high-frequency noise with little degradation of the eye opening, is adopted on the read side. In addition, we adopt Viterbi decoding as a decoding method for further improvement. In this paper, we report the synthesis of this write and read equalization method. Computer simulation shows that our system has an excellent error rate performance compared with the well-known combination of NRZ recording code and integrated detection.

The influence of the correlation coefficients of colored noise on the error rate performance of PRML system is studied. For two partial response systems, PR(1,1,-1,-1) and PR(1,1,0,-1,-1) systems, the upper bounds on error rates are derived and expressed as a function of the correlation coefficients of noise sequnces at the input of Viterbi decoder. The theoretical value of error Fate is also compared with the simulated and the result shows that there is close agreement between them. Furthermore, the relationship between the correlation coefficient of colored noise and the error rate performance is clarified.

An efficient butt-joined coupling scheme between single-mode planar waveguides with different refractive index profiles is proposed. The configuration consists of tapered waveguide with nonlinear cladding. Power dependent coupling efficiency of the configuration is analyzed by the beam propagation method. The numerical results show that this configuration has high-coupling efficiency and is less sensitive to the offset between coupled waveguides if the input power is properly selected. © 1992 IEEE
