In this paper, a two-dimensional (2-D) channel code for magnetic patterned media is proposed. Patterned media records an information bit on a magnetized dot. Since the space between adjacent tracks is narrow in order to increase the storage density, inter-track interference (ITI) and inter-symbol interference (ISI) can be problems. The amplitude of a bit signal can be corrupted by the 2-D ISI. The signal of the bit surrounded by the same value can be especially destructive, i.e. when its value is the same as the values of the eight surrounding bits. The proposed modulation coding scheme improves the decoding performance of patterned media by preventing this worst case and provides a better code rate than conventional channel codes.
