Abstract

A novel model of the magnetic/optical storage channel is reported The model is implemented in the Matlab/Simulink block-diagram language, and is self-configuring to arbitrary user-specified partial response targets. All key continuous- and discrete-time channel components are implemented in a configurable architecture. A unified system description which merges the channel model with a behavioral representation of the analog processing electronics and interconnects preceding the channel is described, and results presented. Applications are in design of magnetic tape/disk, and optical storage systems.
