Systems, methods, devices, circuits for data processing, and more particularly to systems and methods for adapting noise predictive filters for inter-track interference cancellation in a data processing system.
Abstract:
Described embodiments provide a method of cancelling inter-track interference (ITI) from one or more sectors read from a desired track of a storage medium. A read channel reads sectors in a desired track of the storage medium. A decoder of the read channel decodes the read sectors, and if the read sectors are incorrectly recovered from the storage medium, selected sectors of a first adjacent track and a second adjacent track are read. An ITI canceller of the read channel estimates ITI in the read sectors of the desired track corresponding to the selected sectors of each adjacent track and subtracts the estimated ITI of each adjacent track from the data for the sectors of the desired track, providing updated sector data. The ITI cancelled data is replayed to the decoder, Which decodes the ITT cancelled data and provides the decoded ITI cancelled data as output of the read channel.

Abstract:
A data processing system is disclosed including a data detector, a data decoder and an alignment detector. The data detector is operable to apply a data detection algorithm to generate detected values for a data sector. The data decoder is operable to apply a data decode algorithm to a decoder input derived from the detected values to yield decoded values. The alignment detector is operable to calculate an offset between multiple versions of the data sector by correlating the multiple versions.
Abstract:
Hardware-based methods and apparatus are provided for inter-track interference mitigation in magnetic recording systems using averaged values. Inter-track interference (ITI) is mitigated in a magnetic recording system by obtaining ITI cancellation data; and providing the ITI cancellation data for ITI mitigation, wherein the ITI mitigation is performed in combination with an averaging procedure for one or more of ITI mitigation of averaged data and averaging of ITI mitigated data. The sector is optionally decoded using the ITI mitigated samples. Samples for one or more side track sectors can also be averaged. The averaged side track samples can be provided as ITI cancellation data for ITI mitigation. The averaging procedure optionally applies a scaling factor to each read value.
Abstract:
A method of mitigating an effect of track misregistration on read performance in a system comprising an array-reader includes determining an estimated off-track condition, selecting translation coefficients based on the estimated off-track condition, determining updated equalizer coefficients by applying the translation coefficients to native equalizer coefficients, and applying the updated equalizer coefficients to signals received from the array-reader to output a read signal.
