A new model, called the MicroTrack Model, has been developed for signal dependent
transition noise and partial erasure that occurs in the readback signal from thin film magnetic …

A new model for the signal dependent transition noise and partial erasure which occur in the
readback signal from thin film recording media is reviewed. This model, which is referred to …

This book treats the various aspects of noise from magnetic recording media and the impact
on system performance. Several authors present discussions of: materials and processes …

Discrete tracks were used to determine the importance of edge effects in the recording
performance of thin-film metal media. A small reduction of signal amplitude is observed …

Noise in magnetic recording is contributed by the media, electronics, and mechanical
imperfections in servoing. These affect signal-to-noise as a function of track width and linear …

The problem of noise in thin-film longitudinal media is analyzed experimentally and
theoretically. The physical mechanism for the noise is shown to be fluctuations in the …

A simple but accurate expression for general non-stationary noise correlation in the
presence of a recorded transition is analyzed in terms of both noise voltage and spectral …

General noise voltage relations based on magnetization correlations in thin film recording
media have been developed. Transition position jitter or amplitude fluctuations are a …

Measurements of the spatial structure of media noise across the track direction are made
using new techniques involving computer processing of digitized transient read signal …

The noise power spectrum of uniformly magnetized media is measured. The measured
spectra are corrected for playback effects (gap loss, spacing loss, head differentiation, and …
