In a run length limited digital signal of the d,k type, (d+m)-bit digital words are inserted at specific instants in the data stream in a manner such that the signal thus obtained is a run length limited signal of the d,k' type, where k' is greater than or equal to k. This signal is then encoded in an aT precoder, a being an integer such that a .gtoreq.1, and recorded on a magnetic record carrier (21). Such (d+m)-bit digital words are inserted so that the digital sum value of the output signal of the precoder has a desired pattern as a function of time. Thus, for example, a pilot signal can be accommodated in the output data stream of the precoder, which pilot signal can be detected during reproduction of the recorded signal. From this detected pilot signal a control signal can be derived for controlling tracking during reproduction of the recorded signal.

An apparatus for decoding a channel signal into an information signal is disclosed. The channel signal comprises subsequent blocks of information, a block of information comprising a sync word and a plurality of channel words. The information signal includes subsequent information words. The apparatus includes an input terminal for receiving the channel signal, a conversion unit for converting the channel words into the information words, and an error concealment unit. The information signal obtained is supplied to an output terminal. The conversion unit includes a channel word detector for establishing whether channel words received are channel words not belonging to a group of valid channel words. If so, the channel word detector is adapted to supply a detection signal upon such detection. This enables the detection signals to be counted so as to establish a mis-synchronization of the decoding apparatus.

Method of transmitting information by means of code signals, information transmission systems for carrying out the method, and transmitting and receiving apparatus for use in the information transmission system.A method of and system for transmitting n-bit information words is revealed, using code signals (Sc, x.sub.i) in which the bits (b.sub.1, b.sub.2, b.sub.3, b.sub.4) having corresponding bit positions in different information words are always represented by frequency components (fd1, fd2, fd3, fd4; fh1, fh2, fh3, fh4) in the same frequency range of the frequency spectra of the code signals (Sc, x.sub.i). Bits having different bit positions are represented by frequency components which are situated in different frequency ranges of the frequency spectra of the code signals. After transmission of the code signals the individual bits of the information words are recovered by means of frequency-domain detection.

A method of encoding n-bit information words into m-bit code words and the other way round is described, which code words have a specific disparity d and a digital sum value which is limited to values p and q. In order to enable encoding and decoding without the use of an extensive look-up table, use is made of a series of numbers which is a modified version of numbers in conformity with the Newton binomial. By means of this modified series, the n-bit information words, which are arranged in conformity with their binary weights, are mapped lexicographically and unambiguously onto code words with said limitations, and the other way round.

Encoding arrangement for encoding a sequence of (n-1)bit information words into a sequence of n-bit channel words, and a decoding arrangement for decoding a sequence of n-bit channel words into a sequence of (n-1)-bit information words. The encoding arrangement comprises input means for receiving the information words, converter means for converting the (n-1)-bit information words into n-bit channel words and output means for supplying the channel words. The converter means comprises weight vector coefficient supply means for supplying a weight vector w, the weight vector having n weight vector coefficients w.sub.i, where i is an integer running from 1 to n and the weight vector coefficients being in the form of (n-1)-bit binary words, and calculation means for carrying out a calculation using an information word so as to obtain a channel word. The weight vector coefficient supply means is adapted to supply only p bits of a weight vector coefficient w.sub.i, the remaining n-1-p bits of the (n-1)-bit weight vector coefficient word being `zeroes` to be added before or after the p-bit binary word or before and after the p-bit binary word so as to obtain said weight vector coefficient, and that p is an integer smaller than n-1.
摘要:
A a series of m-bit information words is converted to a modulated signal. For each information word from the series, an n-bit code word is delivered. The delivered code words are converted to the modulated signal. The code words are distributed over at least one group of a first type and at least one group of a second type. When a code word belonging to a group of the first type is delivered, its group establishes a coding state of a first type. When a code word belonging to an group of the second type is delivered, a coding state of a second type is established which is determined by the information word which is to be converted to the delivered code word. When one of the code words is assigned to the received information word, this code word is selected from a set of code words which depends on the coding state established. The sets of code words belonging to the coding states of the second type are disjunct. In this coding method, the number of unique bit combinations that may be established by the code words in the series are enlarged. The modulated signal obtained may be reconverted to information words by first converting the modulated signal to a series of code words and then assigning an information word to each of the code words from the series in dependence on the code word to be converted and also in dependence on the logical values of the bit string bits which are situated at predetermined positions relative to the code word.
摘要:
Method of connecting a stream of data bits of a binary source signal into a stream of data bits of a binary channel signal. The data bit stream of the source signal is divided into a sequence of five authorized source words of variable lengths. Each of these five authorized source words are converted into a channel word having twice the number of data bits. This conversion has been chosen such that a very small error propagation is obtained and that at the same time very simple electronics are required. For dividing the data bit stream into information blocks and for providing the timing during the decoding operation a very suitable synchronizing word is used.
