Write Channel Model for Bit-Patterned Media Recording
We propose a new write channel model for bit-patterned media recording that
reflects the data dependence of write synchronization errors. It is shown that
this model accommodates both substitution-like errors and insertion-deletion
errors whose statistics are determined by an underlying channel state process.
We study information theoretic properties of the write channel model, including
the capacity, symmetric information rate, Markov-1 rate and the zero-error
capacity.Comment: 11 pages, 12 figures, journa
Zero-error capacity of binary channels with memory
We begin a systematic study of the problem of the zero--error capacity of
noisy binary channels with memory and solve some of the non--trivial cases.Comment: 10 pages. This paper is the revised version of our previous paper
having the same title, published on ArXiV on February 3, 2014. We complete
Theorem 2 of the previous version by showing here that our previous
construction is asymptotically optimal. This proves that the isometric
triangles yield different capacities. The new manuscript differs from the old
one by the addition of one more pag
Automatic oscillator frequency control system
A frequency control system makes an initial correction of the frequency of its own timing circuit after comparison against a frequency of known accuracy and then sequentially checks and corrects the frequencies of several voltage controlled local oscillator circuits. The timing circuit initiates the machine cycles of a central processing unit which applies a frequency index to an input register in a modulo-sum frequency divider stage and enables a multiplexer to clock an accumulator register in the divider stage with a cyclical signal derived from the oscillator circuit being checked. Upon expiration of the interval, the processing unit compares the remainder held as the contents of the accumulator against a stored zero error constant and applies an appropriate correction word to a correction stage to shift the frequency of the oscillator being checked. A signal from the accumulator register may be used to drive a phase plane ROM and, with periodic shifts in the applied frequency index, to provide frequency shift keying of the resultant output signal. Interposition of a phase adder between the accumulator register and phase plane ROM permits phase shift keying of the output signal by periodic variation in the value of a phase index applied to one input of the phase adder
