Application of Filtering Based Turbo Equalization Algorithms to Magnetic Recording Channels

چکیده
We investigate potential turbo equalization (TE) schemes for high density advanced magnetic recording systems. Compared to conventional TE schemes based on partial response maximum likelihood (PRML) detection, filtering based TE schemes are attractive due to their low computational complexity. In this paper, we focus on soft feedback equalization (SFE) [1]. We modify the generic SFE to deal with jitter noise. Furthermore, novel bidirectional SFE (2D-SFE) and modified SFE (MSFE) schemes are proposed to improve the performance of the generic SFE. Simulation results suggest that, for longitudinal channels, SFE and its variants perform competitively with conventional PRML based schemes with a much lower complexity. For perpendicular channels, however, the performance deteriorates.

Performance of Interpolated Timing Recovery in Perpendicular Magnetic Recording Channel
Magnetic recording systems employ conventional VCO-based timing recovery to synchronize the readback signal and the sampler, which is expensive to implement. To get rid of this VCO, a fully digital timing recovery known as interpolated timing recovery (ITR) is utilized. This paper investigates the performance of the ITR architecture in magnetic recording channels with and without error-control ...
متن کاملJoint turbo channel detection and RLL decoding for (1, 7) coded partial response recording channels
Runlength limited (RLL) codes are essential in recording systems for minimizing distortions and maintaining bit synchronization. In this paper, we investigate the application of turbo codes on RLL (1, 7) coded partial response equalized recording channels. We propose a ‘combined trellis’ approach for doing ‘soft-in soft-out’ (SISO) channel detection and RLL decoding jointly. This approach makes...
