Abstract :
Improvements in readback heads and tapes have brought a readback-signal amplitude at a wavelength of 0.33 μm 15 dB higher than that obtainable by a commercial digital data storage (DDS) system. An investigation to determine the most effective channel for the newest heads and tapes established that a class I partial response channel combined with DC-free 8-10 block code and maximum likelihood detection was optimum. Based on this channel and these heads and tapes, the DDS3 format was derived. It has an areal density of 530 Gb/m2 and the linear density of 4.8 Mb/m
