Cc. Yeh et Jr. Barry, A SIMPLIFIED DECISION-FEEDBACK TREE-SEARCH RECEIVER FOR THE PARTIAL ERASURE CHANNEL, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 32(5), 1996, pp. 3932-3934
Non-linear distortion in the form bf partial erasure is a primary impe
diment at high magnetic recording densities. This paper simplifies a d
ecision-feedback tree-search receiver for combating partial erasure. U
tilizing an internal flag and a pre-computed threshold lookup table, t
he proposed receiver requires no multiplications for its metric comput
ation.
