High Density Magnetic Recording - Conquer the Ultimate Limit Predictions -

High Density Pcm Magnetic Tape Recording

The Bell & Howell Enhanced-NRZ recording reproducing technique for bit packing densities up to 40,000 per track inch is described in this paper. Utilization of the pulse code modulation format of Enhanced-NRZ achieves this high density with a bit error rate of one in ten million. Bell & Howell’s standard VR-3700B instrumentation tape recorder and wideband instrumentation recording tape are used...

Reduced-Complexity Turbo Equalization for High-Density Magnetic Recording Systems

This paper considers a decision-feedback-equalizer (DFE)-based soft decision detector as an alternative for the Bahl–Cocke–Jelinek–Raviv (BCJR) front-end for a coded magnetic recording channel. In previous work, a bidirectional-arbitrated DFE (BAD) was shown to perform in between a BCJR detector and a minimum mean-square error DFE. We propose a soft-output BAD (S-BAD) which takes advantage of t...

He I emission predictions in the low - density limit

Determinations of the primordial helium abundance are used in precision cosmological tests. These require highly accurate He I recombination rate coefficients. Here we reconsider the formation of He I recombination lines in the low-density limit. This is the simplest case and it forms the basis for the more complex situation where collisions are important. The formation of a recom-bination line...

Crystallographic and Magnetic Characteristics of Ba Ferrite Sputtered Films for High Density Magnetic Recording Disks

Ba ferrite films with non-stoichiometric composition were deposited using Facing Targets Sputtering apparatus. The films with well c-axis orientation and remarkable perpendicular anisotropy were attained even at the substrate temperature below 600°C. Sufficiently large saturation magnetization 4 w o f 3.7 kGand small crystallite size below 20 nm were attained using the targets with Fe-excessive...
