| Research Abstract |
A thermal decay model based on the experimental data for three CoPtCr-SiO_2 perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) media with thermal stability factors K_uV/kT of 94, 60 and 45 is obtained. The long-term BER performance of PRML, GPRML and GPRML-AR systems for the 128/130(0,16/8) RLL code is evaluated by computer simulation using the thermal decay model at a linear recording density of 1000 kBPI, which is difficult to evaluate experimentally.
It is clarified that, in all PRML systems at t_E = 10^8 seconds, there is no degradation in BER performance for the medium of K_uV/kT =94, while an order of magnitude or so degradation in BERs is found for the medium of K_uV/kT =60 and three orders of magnitude or so degradation in BERs can be seen for the medium of K_uV/kT =45. Nevertheless, GPR1ML system provides the SNR improvements of 0.4, 0.4 and 4.9 dB at BER=10^<-4> over PR1ML system for the media of K_uV/k_T =94, 60 and 45, respectively, and GPR1ML-AR system offers the improvements of 1.5, 1.8 and 6.6 dB at t_E=10^6 is seconds.
When a neural network is employed as a equalizer and the network is simplified and optimized by using a hybrid genetic algorithm which is the combination of a back propagation algorithm and a genetic algorithm, the performance degradation of PRML system is not found for K_uV/kT =60 and till t_E = 10^5. Therefore, this shows that the combination of neural network equalization and PRML system has the good adaptability for the thermal decay. Hereafter, the adaptive GPRML and PRML-AR systems using a neural network equalizer will be studied.
