    摘要: An XY array of sync bits and information bits is recorded in a recording medium through the use of holography. The sync bits are in parallel Y-direction-extending groups having an X-direction minimum inversion interval of 2 or more. The information bits are placed between the parallel Y-direction-extending groups of the sync bits. One of the parallel Y-direction-extending groups of the sync bits and ones of the information bits neighboring said one of the parallel Y-direction-extending groups of the sync bits are scanned to reproduce a Y-direction sync bit sequence and at least one Y-direction information bit sequence. The reproduced Y-direction sync bit sequence is re-sampled through the use of a digital phase locked loop to obtain corrected Y-direction sync bit frequency and phase. The Y-direction information bit sequence is re-sampled in response to the corrected Y-direction sync bit frequency and phase. The Y direction is vertical, horizontal, or halfway therebetween.

    摘要: An information signal is read from a recording medium to generate a reproduced signal. A sync detector detects a sync signal in the reproduced signal on a pattern search basis during operation in a direct mode. The sync detector sets a detection window and detects a sync signal in the reproduced signal in the detection window during operation in an inertia mode. A special pattern signal in the reproduced signal is detected and counted to generate a count result. The count result is reset in response to detection of a first special signal in the reproduced signal. A detection flag is generated in cases where a second special signal in the reproduced signal is detected when the count result denotes a last sector in a block of the reproduced signal. The sync detector changes its operation from the inertia mode to the direct mode when the detection flag is generated.

    摘要: In a PLL circuit, a phase error of a reproduced signal is extracted in either a way based on a zero-cross timing or a way based on a self-running timing. A decision is made as to whether the reproduced signal is in a continuous-wave interval where an inversion period of the reproduced signal remains constant or in a random-wave interval where the inversion period of the reproduced signal varies at random. When the reproduced signal is in a continuous-wave interval, a phase error is extracted on the self-running-timing basis. When the reproduced signal is in a random-wave interval, a phase error is extracted on the zero-cross-timing basis. A continuous-wave interval may be replaced by a specified-pattern repetition interval where the inversion period of the reproduced signal changes in accordance with a repetition of a specified pattern.

    摘要: An automatic equalization system includes an analog-to-digital converter for periodically sampling an analog signal representative of digital information in response to a sampling clock signal, and for converting every sample of the analog signal into a corresponding digital sample to convert the analog signal into a corresponding digital signal. A first device operates for detecting a phase error of the sampling clock signal in response to a correlation between samples of the digital signal generated by the analog-to-digital converter. A second device operates for controlling a frequency of the sampling clock signal in response to the phase error detected by the first device. A variable filter operates for subjecting the digital signal generated by the analog-to-digital converter to a variable filtering process to convert the digital signal generated by the analog-to-digital converter into a filtering-resultant signal. The filtering process corresponds to a waveform equalization process. A third device operates for detecting an amplitude error of the digital signal generated by the analog-to-digital converter in response to a correlation between samples of the filtering-resultant signal generated by the variable filter. A fourth device operates for controlling the filtering process implemented by the variable filter in response to the amplitude error detected by the third device. The analog-to-digital converter, the first device, and the second device compose a phase locked loop while the variable filter, the third device, and the fourth device compose an amplitude error correcting loop separate from the phase locked loop.

    摘要: A waveform equalizer prevents the delay of coefficient convergence due to the characteristics of a reproduced signal or the coefficient divergence due to an increase in determined errors. The waveform equalizer constituted by a transversal filter suppresses inter-symbol interferences of a transmitted digital information signal by multiplying the digital information signal and delayed signals thereof by tab coefficients and adding the multiplication results. The waveform equalizer comprises a virtual determination circuit for virtually determining the most plausible digital information from the output of the transversal filter, an error calculation circuit for providing an amplitude error based on the virtual determination result, a retaining and selecting circuit for retaining and selecting the digital information signal and the delayed output thereof, and an updating circuit for multiplying the output from the error calculation circuit by the outputs from the retaining and selecting circuit and to thereby update tab coefficients, wherein the virtual determination circuit virtually determines the value of a most plausible digital information signal by detecting a peak and utilizing the correlationship between signal components of the digital information signal.

    摘要: An optical disk unit capable of correcting a spherical aberration without using special patterns is provided. Also provided is an aberration correcting method used for such an optical disk unit. An objective lens 7 is moved along an optical axis by a predetermined distance from an in-focus position in a first direction, and then, is moved by the predetermined distance from the in-focus position in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction. In each of the objective lens moved states, a random signal having a plurality of amplitudes and periods is reproduced from an optional area of an information recording layer 12 of an optical disk 11. A servo circuit 10 extracts a specific portion having a specific amplitude or period from the reproduced random signal in each of the objective lens moved states, finds a first amplitude value and second amplitude value in the specific portions, and controls an aberration corrector 6 so that the difference between the first amplitude value and the second amplitude value approaches zero.

    摘要: A signal of a run-length-limited code is read out from a recording medium. The read-out signal is converted into a reproduced digital signal. A decoder subjects the reproduced digital signal to first decoding different from run length decoding to get a first decoded signal. Information bit streams are generated from the first decoded signal. The information bit streams are different in timing by 1-bit-correpsonding intervals. Run length decoders subject the information bit streams to run length decoding to get run-length-decoded bit streams respectively. Each of the run-length-decoded bit streams undergoes one of error correction and error detection. A decision is made as to which of the run-length-decoded bit streams is the smallest in error number on the basis of results of the one of error correction and error detection. The run-length-decoded bit stream being the smallest in error number is selected and outputted as a likeliest information bit stream.

    摘要: A first signal is read from a first track of a recording medium. A second signal is read from a second track of the recording medium which neighbors the first track. A filter processes the second signal into a filtering-resultant signal according to a controllable filtering characteristic. A first subtracter operates for subtracting the filtering-resultant signal from the first signal to generate a subtraction-resultant signal. A peak detector generates peak-point information representing a timing at which the level represented by the first signal peaks. A temporary decision circuit implements a temporary decision about the subtraction-resultant signal. A second subtracter generates an error signal indicative of a difference between the subtraction-resultant signal and a signal representative of the result of the temporary decision at a timing equal to the timing represented by the peak-point information. The filtering characteristic of the filter is controlled in response to the error signal.

    摘要: A plurality of cross detectors have predetermined threshold levels different from each other. Each cross detector increments a count value when the reproduced signal crosses over its threshold level and generates the accumulated count value as a cross count value. Upon the cross count value agreeing with a common reference value, each comparator sends the coincidence signal to an OR circuit. The OR circuit produces a reset pulse in response to a first-arriving coincidence signal. The reset pulse is supplied to each cross detector to reset the cross count values of all of cross detectors and is also supplied to a down counter to reset it. When the cross count value becomes a predetermined value, an error signal is produced based on a deviation of the bit clock count value relative to a proper value so as to correct the deviation. The frequency control is performed based on the produced error signal.
