A new multitrack coding scheme is proposed as a preferable use in perpendicular recording using a double layer medium and an MR head. The coding uses combinations of three codes in 8 orthogonal codes based on Hadamard matrix elements. The new coding method has a high code rate and reliability because of the multilevel correlation detection due to simultaneous reading of three tracks. The performances are investigated by theoretical calculations, simulations and experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
