Abstract
Many of the types of modulation codes designed for use in storage devices using magnetic recording are discussed. The codes are intended to minimize the negative effects of intersymbol interference. The channel model is first presented. The peak detection systems used in most commercial disk drives are described, as are the run length-limited (d,k) codes they use. Recently introduced recording channel technology based on sampling detection-partial-response (or PRML) is then considered. Several examples are given to illustrate that the introduction of partial response equalization, sampling detection, and digital signal processing has set the stage for the invention and application of advanced modulation and coding techniques in future storage products.<>
