Abstract

Based on the two path metrics being equal at a merged node in the trellis employed to describe a Viterbi detector for the detection of data encoded with a rate 6:8 balanced binary code in page-oriented optical memories, the combined Viterbi detector scheme is proposed to improve raw biterror rate performance by mitigating the occurrence of a twobit reversing error event in an estimated codeword for the balanced code. The effectiveness of the detection scheme is verified for different data quantizations using Monte Carlo simulations.
