Y. Kurihara et al., PERFORMANCE OF PRML SYSTEMS IN PERPENDICULAR MAGNETIC RECORDING BY A BI-LAYERED MAIN-POLE HEAD, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 158, 1996, pp. 262-263
For perpendicular magnetic recording by a bi-layered main-pole head wh
ich shows an excellent linearity, the perfor mance of PRML system comb
ining partial response (PR) system with maximum likelihood (ML) decodi
ng is studied. The bit-error rate of the PRML system using a PR(I,I,0,
0,0,0, - 1, - 1) system is obtained by computer simulation and compare
d with that of the conventional PRML system. It is shown that our PRML
system exhibits better performance than the conventional PRML system
in high density recording.
