A modulating method, a modulating device and a demodulating device, in which it is possible to improve the digital sum value (DSV) of the coded information, modulated for transmission or recording on the recording medium, are disclosed. An encoding circuit 11 translates a sequence of input data into a sequence of coded data suitable for transmission. A pattern generating circuit 12 generates a pattern of a pre-set length at a pre-set interval inversely proportionate to the low-range cut-off frequency of the modulated coded data. A pattern inserting circuit 13 inserts the patterns into the sequence of coded data A at the pre-set interval. A modulating circuit 14 NRZI modulates the pattern-interlaced sequence of the coded data B and outputs the resulting sequence. A timing control circuit 15 controls the pattern inserting circuit 13 an so forth. The DSV of the modulated coded data may be controlled by the inserted patterns, while the increase in redundancy may be maintained at a necessary minimum value to adapt the DSV control characteristics to the specifications demanded by the transmission system.

A synchronization detector includes a NRZI circuit for extracting edge portions of RF signals detected as binary-valued signals to form a pulse train, a counter for counting the number of channel clocks in the distance between transitions represented by the edge portions, a latch circuit operated responsive to pulses from the NRZI circuit for holding a number of previously counted channel clocks immediately preceding a current count of channel clocks, and AND gates and an OR gate for detecting synchronization signals when the combination of the channel clocks from the counter and the latch circuit is the combination of the maximum distance between transitions Tmax and Tmax-kT (k=1 or 2) of a (d, k; m, n; r) modulation code. Synchronization signals may be detected promptly even if the frame structure is increased in size to enable restoration of synchronization to be expedited when frame structure synchronization is not in order. A demodulator utilizing the synchronization signal detector is also disclosed.

A method of modulating digital data to a variable-length code having parameters d, k, m, n, and r for recording information on and reproducing the same from an optical disc. The optimal range of a minimum run length d corresponding to the minimum number of successive same symbols is determined by a procedure which includes a first step to determine the minimum S/N required for obtaining a desired error rate from the relationship between a bit error rate and the S/N when d=0; a second step to obtain the relationship between a change of the numerical value d and that of the S/N by calculating, on the basis of the required minimum S/N obtained at the first step, the S/N loss caused due to the change of the numerical value d; and a third step to determine, from the relationship between the numerical value d and the S/N, the range of the value d corresponding to the S/N of the transmission characteristic dependent on an optical system and an optical disc.

A modulating method and apparatus and a demodulating method and apparatus wherein high density recording can be achieved and a dc component can be controlled with a variable length channel code are disclosed. Recording data are divided into a predetermined plurality of blocks, and those of the recording data at a portion other than a boundary portion of each of the blocks are coded referring to a table of a first ROM so that data of m bits may be converted into a code of n bits. The remaining data at the boundary portion of each block are converted into a code referring to another table of second ROM so that data of m bits may be converted into a code of n bits. Further, a code of n bits for minimizing a dc component is produced referring to a third table of a further ROM and is added to the code generated by the first and second ROMs.

A magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus is disclosed wherein reproduced signals read out from a plurality of recording tracks using a reproducing head can be separated into original recording signals of the recording tracks. Upon recording, an identification signal which has a recording wavelength equal to or greater than a minimum recording wavelength and causes no interference of any of the recording tracks with any adjacent one of the recording tracks is appended to and recorded together with a recording signal in order to allow, upon reproduction, acquisition of the position information of the reproducing head with respect to the plural recording tracks of the magnetic recording medium. Upon reproduction, a reproduced signal for each of the recording tracks of the magnetic recording medium is generated on the basis of the positional information read from the recording tracks.

In a data decoding apparatus of this invention, level of a reproduction RF signal 7a at the time of the binary level judgment of channel bit is temporarily stored into a RF signal level memory section 20. The portions which do not satisfy the conditions of the minimum run length and the maximum run length of the same symbols within the channel bit data train are respectively detected by a (d'-1) detecting section 16 and a (k'+1) detecting section 17. This data decoding apparatus comprises correction bit position detecting sections 18, 19 for outputting correction bit position designation signals on the basis of level of the RF signal at the time of the binary level judgment stored in the RF signal level memory section 20, and a bit data inversion correcting section 15 for inverting logic level of data at bit position designated on the basis of the correction bit position designation signals 18a, 18b, 19a, 19b. In the case where there exists any portion which does not satisfy the conditions of the minimum run length and/or the maximum run length of the same symbols within channel bit data obtained by binarizing a signal which has been read out from the recording medium, correction is implemented to the channel bit data, thereby making it possible to improve the bit error rate, and to ensure skew margin.
