Abstract
In bit-patterned media recording (BPMR) systems, two-dimensional (2D) interference, which includes intersymbol and intertrack interference from down- and across-track directions, respectively, increases when the distance between the islands is reduced with increasing areal density. In recent studies, a general partial response (GPR) target was often deployed with the equalizer to estimate and reduce interference. With this combination, the BPMR system becomes a promising candidate for high-density storage systems and achieves high bit error rate (BER) performance. Therefore, in this study, we investigate the detection capability while varying the form of the GPR target and implement a multilayered 2D GPR target and a detection method for improving the accuracy in estimating the interference. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed model improves by a gain of ~1 dB compared to the previous studies.
