    摘要: There is provided a magnetic disk drive in which the adaptability of read signal processing of the magnetic disk drive is enhanced so that the frequency of retry or miscorrection in use is reduced. This magnetic disk drive has a read circuit, and a channel condition measuring circuit. An output of an A/D converter contained in the read circuit is supplied to a digital equalizing circuit so as to be equalized accurately. Upon input of a signal for instructing a coefficient learning circuit to learn the coefficient of the digital equalizing circuit, the initial coefficient registered in a register is set as a coefficient value in another register and the coefficient learning circuit is operated to start consecutive learning of coefficient values. In the channel condition measuring circuit, errors in a row of output values of the digital equalizing circuit are calculated and an integrated value of squares of the errors is compared with an error threshold value. If the integrated value is larger than the error threshold value, coefficient learning is regarded as being abnormal and a control signal for discarding the coefficient registered in the register is issued so that the register is reset to the initial coefficient value. The signal for instructing the coefficient learning circuit to learn the coefficient may be outputted in a sector previous to the read target sector or may be outputted in the read target sector.

    摘要: The computer system includes a host system, a recording medium, and a digital signal decoder connected to the host system and the recording medium. The digital signal decoder receives M-bit data and generates an N-bit code word from the M-bit data. The number of consecutive bits of 1 in the code word is not larger than a first predetermined number K, and the number of consecutive bits of 0 is not larger than a second predetermined number L. When data is recorded/reproduced by a method such as NRZI (Non-Return to Zero Inverted), or the like, there is a defect in that the number of transitions of data is larger in a code with a high data encoding rate, and the run length of zero is long thereby increasing the data decoding error rate with the recording/reproducing of data. In the digital signal decoder according to the present invention, any code word includes at most 3 consecutive bits of 1, and at most 11 consecutive bits of 0, so that the data decoding error rate can be reduced.

    摘要: A digital magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus that has an LVA detector, and that is able to maintain the coding rate as high as {fraction (8/9)} or more, and record at a higher density than in the prior art, wherein, in order that the data sequences up to the (2n−1)th best sequence (n>1) are obtained in the order of higher likelihood ratios, and that. the candidates of those data sequences can be produced, the LVA detector has provided therein a unit which replaces the likelihood ratio and path memory of the ith best sequence by those of the (2i−1)th best sequence when the contents of the (i−1)th path memory coincide with those of the ith path memory (i=2, 3, . . . , n) and the absolute value of the likelihood ratio difference between the (i−1)th best sequence and the (2i−1)th best sequence is smaller than a decision threshold, or a unit which initializes the likelihood ratio of the ith best sequence to be a constant difference value added to the likelihood ratio of the (i−1)th best sequence when the contents of the (i−1)th path memory and the ith (i=2, 3, . . . , n) path memory of the n candidates of data sequences are coincident.

    摘要: The equalizer is capable of generating an equalized output that is compensated in the non-linearity of the signal reproduced by an MR head and a reliable high-density magnetically recorded-signal reproducer. The equalizer of an FIR-type filter structure includes a plurality of delay elements for delaying an input signal by a certain period, a plurality of coefficient processing units provided to input or output taps of the delay elements, and an adder for obtaining the sum of the outputs of the coefficient processing units. The distortion of the reproduced waveform can be corrected by a relatively simple circuit structure by comparing the signal value inputted to the coefficient processing unit from each tap with a predetermined threshold level and changing the signal value and a coefficient value to be multiplied in accordance with the comparison result. Therefore, any one of various existing signal processing systems can be applied to the decoding of reproduced signals of an MR head having the non-linear characteristic.

    摘要: A playback signal processing circuit for reducing decode errors and enabling high-density digital magnetic recording and a digital magnetic recording reproducing unit using the playback signal processing circuit are provided. An estimated waveform generation circuit uses the decoding result of a PRML channel to generate an ideal playback signal waveform. A subtractor provides a waveform representing a difference between the waveform and an actual playback signal. There is a high probability that error bits will occur at an interval of two or four bits because of the nature of GCR code and maximum-likelihood decoding; in the error state of each bit, one bit is incremented by one with respect to the correct bit value and the other signal bit is decremented by one. From this fact, an error detection circuit discriminates an error difference waveform pattern and an error discrimination circuit detects an error bit interval, whereby an error correction circuit carries out error bit correction.

    摘要: In a system for transmitting a binary source signal from a data transmitter to a data receiver through a noisy dispersive channel, the data transmitter includes a sliding block encoder which converts the binary source signal at a given symbol rate 1/T into an encoded binary data signal at a symbol rate P/(NT), where P and N are positive integers such that N/P.ltoreq..sup.2 log(3)/2= 0.79248. Since the channel introduces intersymbol interference and noise into the encoded data signal, the data receiver is formed from the cascade of an equalizer, a sampler and a reconstruction circuit which serves to reconstruct the binary source signal at the symbol rate 1/T. The reconstruction circuit includes a detector in a cascade with a decoder having memory the equalizer, sampler and detector are arranged for the detection of a ternary data signal at the symbol rate P/(2NT).

    摘要: An optical tape apparatus having improved focus and tracking control. An optical head records, reproduces, or rewrites data on an optical tape by helically scanning the tape with a laser beam. A guide plate is disposed between the optical head and the tape to prevent the beam from becoming unfocused due to fluctuation of the tape cuased by an air film between the optical head and the tape. The optical head contains a semiconductor laser and an optical system exhibiting chromatic aberration for directing the laser beam onto the tape. The optical system includes a condenser lens for focusing the beam onto the tape. Fine focus control is achieved by changing the wavelength of the laser beam by directing part of the beam reflected from the tape back to the laser, thereby changing the focal point of the beam by virtue of the chromatic aberration of the optical system. Coarse focus control is achieved by mounting the condenser lens on a piezoelectric actuator which moves the consenser lens to focus the beam onto the tape. A recording head for recording timing marks and tracking signals on the tape is disposed in advance of the optical head. A reading head reads the timing marks and the optical head reads the tracking signals. The timing marks and tracking signals are used to control the operation of the apparatus such that the tape is transported with a constant speed and data on diagonal signal tracks on the tape is accurately recorded, reproduced, or rewritten.
