Abstract

As recording densities increase in digital magnetic recording channels, the performances of digital detection techniques such as PRML and DFE degrade significantly due to nonlinear distortion in recording channels. The primary impediments for hgih-density recording are generally classified as nonlinear transition shift, which can be reduced substantially by the precompensation technique, and partial erasure which usually requires sophisticated nonlinear equalization techniques. In order to acheieve the highest density recording, accurate estimation of the parameters associated with these two noninear distortions is crucial. In this paper, a new estimation technique to distinguish these two different nonlinear effect using a proposed adaptive algorithm in time domain is presented. The effectiveness of the proposed adaptive approach to identify uniquely the nonlinear parameter with bias is demonstrated by computer simulation.

디지털 자기 기록 채널의 기록 밀도가 증가하면 기록 채널의 비선형 왜곡이 발생하고, 이로 인해 PRML이나 DFE와 같은 디지털 검출 방식의 성능이 급격히 저하된다. 고밀도 기록을 저해하는 요소는 비선형 천이 이동과 부분 삭제로 분류되는데, 이 중 비선형 천이 이동은 사전 보상 기법에 의해 보상 가능하고, 부분 삭제 현상의 보상을 위해서는 정교한 비선형 동화 기법이 필요하다. 고밀도 기록을 달성하기 위해서는 이러한 비선형 왜곡과 관련된 파라메타의 정확한 추정이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 시간 영역에서 제안된 적응 알고리듬을 사용하여 위의 두 비선형 왜곡 영향을 분리할 수 있는 새로운 추정 기법을 논하고, 제안된 적응 방식으로 비선형 파라메타를 바이어스 없이 추정할 수 있음을 컴퓨터의 실험을 통해 확인하였다.
