We discuss an error detection technique geared to a prescribed set of error events. The
traditional method of error detection and correction attempts to detect/correct as many …

An analytical approach is used for performance evaluation of different partial response
systems in the presence of signal-dependent noise. The signal-dependent noise is modeled …

A new class of cyclic codes is discussed which is highly tailored to a prescribed set of
dominant error cluster patterns. The cyclic code construction is based on a generator …

We study the largest number of sequences with the property that any two sequences do not
contain specified pairs of patterns. We show that this number increases exponentially with …

BACKGROUND Error detection and correction is an important feature of most modem
communication systems, including wired and wireless telecommunication systems and data …

Abstract Bit-Patterned Media (BPM) has been recognised as one of the candidate
technologies to achieve an areal density beyond 1Tb/in2 by fabricating single-domain …

Timing recovery is the processing of synchronizing the sampler with the received analog
signal. Sampling at the wrong times can have a devastating impact on performance …

Bit Patterned Media (BPM) are a possible technology for use in future hard disk drives where
a single nanoscale island is used to store each bit of information. However, the imperfect …

It is well known that in high density magnetic recording channels noise models should
comprise the contributions due to the non-ideal transitions. A simplified model of'transition …

Intersymbol interference (ISI) is an impediment that arises in bandlimited transmission
systems of which magnetic recording (MR) is one example. Turbo equalization is a recently …
