    摘要: A method and apparatus for detecting data written on a recording medium are disclosed. The recording medium, such as an optical or magnetic medium, is initially sensed by a transducer to produce an analog data signal waveform. The analog data signal waveform is then digitized by an analog-to-digital convertor to produce a set of digitized data samples. The set of digitized data samples may be equalized to reduce noise. Subsequently, a mid-point sample is inserted between each two samples within the set of equalized data samples utilizing a mid-point interpolation algorithm. With the additional points provided by mid-point interpolation, the absence or presence of a detection event, such as a peak or a transition, between every two samples within the set of equalized data samples are determined.

    摘要: Disclosed is a digital edge processor frequency control for estimating the center frequency of a recorded signal having a known format, such as data recorded on a CLV optical disk or on magnetic tape. The read channel includes a sampling detector which samples the recorded signal at a known rate to provide edge position signals (PAT) indicating the location of recorded pulse edges. An edge pattern identifier detects whether the edge signals of the recording signal match a predetermined element of the known format. Examples of predetermined elements include a pulse of a known length and whose edges are spaced a known distance, a predetermined pulse pattern, or a pulse or pattern at a known location. An interval counter is coupled to the pattern identifier for measuring the interval length between the edges of the matching pulse or pattern in units of the sample length. A center frequency estimator calculates the period of the center frequency of the matching edges by relating the matching edge interval length to a predetermined nominal wave length for the predetermined element of the known format. The result is a Tau that is used to establish the center frequency for the digital PLL.

    摘要: A read channel equalizer of a magnetic tape drive which equalizes digitally sampled magnetic signals detected by a read head is dynamically adapted. A detector of equalizer dynamic adaptation logic compares equalizer output signals to desired values that are based on the decoding scheme (such as +2, 0 and −2 for PR4) to sense equalizer output signals that are offset from at least one desired value, and signals the fact of each offset and its polarity as amplitude independent error signals. The signaled sensed amplitude independent error signals are fed back to adjustable taps of the equalizer. The simplified error signals thus avoid complex calculations of waveform errors, such as least mean square calculations. The error signals may be weighted and may be adjusted to align synchronously provided error signals with asynchronous taps of the equalizer.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for mitigating signal asymmetry. An analog to digital converter samples an analog signal from a read head and converts the sample to a digital input signal. The digital input signal addresses a look-up module, and the look-up module outputs a modified digital signal. The modified digital signal value is a specified function of the digital input signal value, wherein the specified function is configured to mitigate the asymmetry of the digital input signal. The modified digital signal value may be periodically recalculated to adjust for read head wear.

    摘要: Disclosed is a magnetic tape media having addressing data information superimposed on prerecorded track following servo information. The servo information is recorded in magnetic flux transition patterns defining at least one longitudinal servo track. A servo burst pattern of at least two repeated pairs of non-parallel magnetic flux transitions is provided, at least one of which transitions is slanted or otherwise continuously longitudinally variable across the width of the servo track. At least two transitions of the repeated pairs are shifted longitudinally with respect to other of the transitions, the shifted transitions comprising the superimposed addressing data information. Also disclosed is a magnetic tape media having prerecorded combined servo and data information recorded in repeated pairs of magnetic flux dual transitions, at least one of the repeated pairs of dual transitions having a different width with respect to other of the transitions, the different width transitions comprising data information.

    摘要: Disclosed is a technique for updating a read-detect channel. A signal is processed in a read-detect channel that has one or more programmable registers. While signals continue to be processed by the read-detect channel, it is determined with a channel auxiliary processor whether to dynamically replace values of the one or more programmable registers. When it is determined that values of the one or more programmable registers are to be replaced, a channel auxiliary processor determines values for the one or more programmable registers and replaces existing values for the one or more programmable registers with the determined values.
