摘要:
On existing DVD and CD players a control loop is required for the adaptation and timing recovery. For Two-Dimensional Optical Storage such a control loop has drawbacks because PRML detection in the form of a stripe-wise Viterbi detector is used. Such a detector introduces an increasing detection delay when going from the outer rows towards the center of the broad spiral. A feedback loop is arranged to determining an error signal from a first area of the data block where the first area is that area where the error signal can be determined within the shortest period of time. This reduces the duration of the detection step and thus increases the stability of the control loop.

The present invention relates to a symbol detection apparatus for detecting the symbol values of a one-dimensional channel data stream recorded along one-dimensional contiguous tracks on a record carrier, wherein the symbols of adjacent tracks have a varying phase relation. In order to enable the use of a 2D symbol detection scheme for symbol detection of the symbol values of a one-dimensional channel data stream, an apparatus is proposed comprising: a phase detection means (31) for detecting the phase relation of the symbols of at least two adjacent tracks, a processing means (30) for determining HF reference levels at the symbol positions of the symbols of said at least two adjacent tracks by recalculating an ideal two-dimensional target HF impulse response (gk,2D) of the symbols of said at least two adjacent tracks, said ideal two-dimensional target HF impulse response (gk,2D) representing an HF impulse response assuming no phase difference between the symbols of said at least two adjacent tracks, based on the detected phase relation, and 2D symbol detection means (6) for symbol detection of the symbols of at least one of said at least two adjacent tracks using said HF reference levels (REFk,i) and HF signal values (HFkk,i) read-out from said record carrier

摘要:
The present invention relates to an encoding apparatus and a corresponding method for two-dimensionally encoding user data of a user data stream into channel data of a channel data stream along a two-dimensional channel strip of at least two bit rows one-dimensionally evolving along a first direction and being aligned with each other along a second direction, said two directions constituting a two-dimensional lattice of bit positions. According to the invention the apparatus comprises a modulation code encoder for modulation code encoding said user data into said channel data according to a two-dimensional modulation code being adapted to prevent predetermined worst case patterns of channel data in said channel data stream. The worst-case patterns are typical for high-density two-dimensional optical storage channels.
摘要:
A Viterbi bit detection method for detecting the bit values of bits of a channel data stream stored on a record carrier along an N-dimensional channel tube, N being at least two, of at least two bit rows one-dimensionally evolving along a first direction and being aligned with each other along at least a second of N−1 other directions, the first direction together with the N−1 other directions constituting an N-dimensional lattice of bit positions, includes application of a row-based one-dimensional Viterbi bit detection method independent for each of the bit rows of said channel tube. To achieve a reliable bit detection, a number of independent one-dimensional row-based Viterbi bit detectors, also known as sequence detectors, is used, one for each bit row in the channel tube: the interference between successive neighboring bit rows is taken into account via the computation of the branch metrics (for the considered bit row), in which local bit decisions on the primary neighboring bits in the neighboring rows are used. As local bit detectors going beyond the performance of a threshold detector, the use of a HD-2 or HD-3-like hard-decision bit detector is proposed.

摘要:
Presently known d=1 codes have long trains consisting of consecutive 2T runs and an overall high frequency of occurrence of the shortest 2T runs that reduce the performance of the bit detector By using a code with an MTR constraint of 2 an improvement in the bit detection is achieved. A code constructed in a systematic way that provides an MTR constraint of 2 is presented. A variation of such a code is disclosed where one sub-code is used, where coding states are divided into coding classes and where code words are divided into code word types. Then, for a given sub-code, an code word of type t can be concatenated with an code word of the next sub-code if said subsequent code word of said next sub-code belongs to one of coding states of the coding class with index Tmax+1 t. In the code according to the invention the overall code has the property that the respective channel bit sequences that are encoded from the same message-bit sequence, starting from any possible state of the finite-state-machine, for each of the two values of a DC-control bit, that is part of a given user word have opposite parities for the sequences generated from the starting state up to the state where both encoder paths merge. For the case that the encoder paths do not merge, there is no such constraint. Finally, a new d=1, k=10 sliding-block decodable RLL code is disclosed with the following properties: (i) it has an r=2 constraint which is the lowest MTR value that is compatible with a rate R=⅔; (ii) it enables practical SISO-RLL decoding because of its compact 2-to-3 mapping; and (iii) the new code uses a parity-complementary word assignment4 (PCWA) for DC-control.
摘要:
This ID proposes synchronization patterns for RLL codes with a (repeated) minimum transition run (RMTR) constraint, where the synchronization pattern comprises a synchronization pattern-body that contains a characteristic bit-pattern that represents a violation of the RMTR constraint. Using a violation of the RMTR constraint allows for short synchronization patterns.

Presently known codes have long trains consisting of 2T runs that reduce the performance of the bit detector. By using a code with an RMTR constraint of 2 an improvement in the bit detection is achieved. A code constructed is a systematic way that provides an RMTR constraint of 2 is presented. Several variations of such a code are disclosed where one or more sub-codes are used, where coding states are divided into coding classes and where code words are divided into code word types. Then, for a given sub-code, a code word type t can be concatenated with a code word of the next sub-code if the subsequent code word of the next sub-code belongs to one of coding states of the coding class with index Tmax+1−t.
摘要:
An information system according to the invention comprises a record carrier and a playback apparatus. The record carrier has information marks along a track thereof and exhibits first variations caused by existence and nonexistence of the information marks along the track. The first variations represent an information signal recorded on said record carrier. The record carrier further exhibits second variations caused by variations associated with the information marks. The phase of the second variations is coupled to the phase of the first variations.
摘要:
A target for measuring an overlay error or a critical dimension of a substrate comprises a grating. In one example, lines of the grating are arranged at an angle of about 45° with respect to edges of the target. As a consequence, the diffraction order of the grating reflection has its sub-maxima not aligned along the line on which the other diffraction orders are positioned, and overlap of intensity with other diffraction orders is reduced.
