High Density Pcm Magnetic Tape Recording
نویسنده
چکیده
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. This same technique permits parallel recording of data rates up to 10 megabits per second at a tape speed of 120 in./s. The merits of the unique encoding/decoding method, factors affecting bit error rate, and future opportunities for development are discussed.

The Challenges of Magnetic Recording on Tape for Data Storage (The One Terabyte Cartridge and Beyond)
Operating points to achieve Terabyte tape cartridge capacities and beyond drive both linear and track densities to values not perceived possible a few short years ago. The primary contributors to the issues related to these high capacities are the physical and magnetic properties of the tape media itself. The total magnetic moment of the recorded bit, driven by the magnetic coating thickness, d...

Introduction Lateral tape motion (LTM) is the time-dependent displacement of magnetic tape perpendicular to the tape transport direction. Lateral tape motion may cause track misregistration between the read/write head and a previously written track, thereby limiting the recording density that can be achieved [1]. Currently, the track density of typical magnetic tape drives is approximately 40 t...
متن کاملDesign and Performance of a Magnetic Head for a High-Density Tape Drive
The design of a magnetic head for use in the tape drive portion of the IBM 3480 Magnetic Tape Subsystem required that advances be made in track density and linear recording density while meeting requirements for signal quality, manufacturability, and reliability. The design that was developed to fulfill these needs combines ferrite pole-pieces, magnetoresistive read elements, and planar-deposit...
متن کاملCorrelation between Anisotropy Direction and Pulse Shape for Metal Evaporated Tape
Measured replay pukes, recorded on Metal Evaporated tape, show a strong asymmetry and dependence on the direction of tape movement. It is found that pulse height and pulse width are unequal for both directions of tape movement. This is attributed to the non longitudinal easy-axis direction which causes differences in headtape geometry for both directions resulting in a different transition widt...
