Abstract

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/in2 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.
