Abstract: Recently, the demand for higher density digital recording has been increasing steadily. In this article, focusing on digital magnetic recording devices, such as magnetic disks and digital VTRs, a signal processing technique for achieving higher densities is described. First, the partial response system, Viterbi decoding method, and partial response maximum likelihood (PRML) system are described in detail. Next, various signal processing methods extensively studied in recent years for longitudinal magnetic recording are described. Recent research trends in signal processing methods responsive to nonlinear distortions, with allowance for nonlinear distortions, such as partial erasure as factors promoting error rate degradation in high-density recording, are discussed. The performances of various methods are compared. A signal processing method for vertical magnetic recording expected to be a promising technique for future high density recording is described. ©1999 Scripta Technica, Electron Comm Jpn Pt 2, 82(6): 25–45, 1999 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
