H. Muraoka et al., 200 KFRPI DATA RECORDING USING A NOVEL BI-LAYERED HEAD IN PERPENDICULAR MAGNETIC RECORDING, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 29(6), 1993, pp. 4074-4076
Linearity in perpendicular magnetic recording was studied. An asymmetr
ical transition-shift occurs depending on the polarity of the pre-reco
rded magnetization of a medium, which deteriorates linearity. A new si
ngle pole head with two main poles which we cab the bi-layered head im
proved linearity by avoiding the interference of magnetic Field From t
he magnetized medium with the head Field, As a result, 200 kFRPI recor
ding was demonstrated to be practical with the partial response techni
que.
