Abstract
A computer model of a peak detecting magnetic recording channel has been implemented and used for channel design and performance evaluation. The model predicts raw error rate, ontrack and off-track, as a function of linear density, run-length-limited (RLL) modulation code, write precompensation rules, and tapped-delay-line (TDL) equalizer. It assumes noise additivity and validity of linear superposition. and it bases calculations on a measured disk/electronics noise spectrum and digitized isolated transition readback signals from the data track and adjacent tracks. Details of the model are described, and illustrative applications to RLL (d,k) code selection and pulse slimming equalizer design for a specific channel are discussed.
