Advanced data detection will be one of the key enablers to achieving the very high areal
recording densities of future tape storage systems. Departing from the partial-response …

BACKGROUND In the field of magnetic storage systems, when reading data written on
magnetic media in hard disk drives, tape drives, etc., distinct read-detect channels are used …

Noise-predictive maximum likelihood (NPML) detection has become state of the art in
modern hard-disk drive (HDD) systems. Tape drive systems, in contrast, have typically …

With the first generation of partial response maximum likelihood detection (PRML) units
already in place in the commercial disk drive market, the design of future read channels …

In this paper, data-dependent partial local feedback noise prediction schemes will be
considered for magnetic recording applications where media noise is significant. These …

Sequence estimation detectors for the digital magnetic recording channel are described that
are based on noise-predictive partial-response equalization. Called noise-predictive …

The striking benefits of iterative detection have generated strong interest in the disk drive
signal processing area, but thus far application of this technology has been rather limited …

Extended Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (EPRML) detection outperforms PRML
detection on very high-density magnetic recording channels but is much more complex than …

The performance of magnetic recording systems that include conventional modulation codes
combined with multiple parity bits is studied. Various performance measures, including bit …

The continuing proliferation of computers throughout society and the demand for on-line
access to information necessitate vast, inexpensive, and reliable data storage. Magnetic …
