“…A practical code for this case is an "asymmetric-RLL" code of the form ͑d 0 ,k 0 ,d 1 ,k 1 ͒, where k is the maximum run-length. A suitable example would be a ͑1,7,2,7͒ code, 13 which has a capacity ͑maximum possible efficiency͒ of 0.7966 and for which a practical code exists with a rate ͑efficiency͒ of 0.75. Given that the symbol is half the tip width, the density gain with respect to the uncoded case ͑i.e., assuming one bit per tip width and no RLL constraints͒ is 2 ϫ 0.75, or 1.5.…”
