Abstract :
A technique for performing maximum likelihood decoding (MLD) of RLL-FEC array codes on partial response channels is introduced. Attention is focused on the (1-D) channel and a (16, 9, 4) code having a maximum runlength constraint of 6. However, the idea is applicable to all partial response channels and RLL-FEC array codes.
