Gs. Markarian et al., MAXIMUM-LIKELIHOOD DECODING OF RLL-FEC ARRAY CODES ON PARTIAL-RESPONSE CHANNELS, Electronics Letters, 29(16), 1993, pp. 1406-1408
A technique for performing a maximum likelihood decoding (MLD) of RLL-
FEC array codes on partial response channels is introduced. Attention
is focused on the (1-D) channel and a (16,9,4) code having a maximum r
unlength constraint of 6, however, the idea is applicable to all parti
al response channels and RLL-FEC array codes.
