Recording codes for digital magnetic storage
Abstract
This paper provides a tutorial introduction to recording codes for magnetic disk storage devices and a review of progress in code construction algorithms. Topics covered include: a brief description of typical magnetic recording channels; motivation for use of recording codes; methods of selecting codes to maximize data density and reliability; and techniques for code design and implementation. © 1985, IEEE.
