A now method for evaluating the power spectral density of multitrack c
onstrained sequences is demonstrated for multitrack (OI G/I) constrain
ts. (0, G/I) constrained sequences are used in magnetic recording syst
ems that employ partial response maximum likelihood (PRML) signalling.
Using the proposed approach the number of states in a directed graph
representing the given (0, G/I) constraint is reduced remarkably sc th
at the power spectral density can be easily calculated.
