Title
Detection Scheme With Joint Intertrack Interference and Media Noise Mitigations for Heat Assisted Interlaced Magnetic Recording
Abstract
Heat assisted interlaced magnetic recording (HIMR) is a promising candidate for the next-generation of magnetic recording technology to further increase the area density beyond 1Tb/in2. Specifically, the high temperature and low temperature tracks are written in an interlaced order to improve the recording performance. However, the inter-track interference (ITI), inter-symbol interference (ISI) and thermal jitters brought by the increased recording density and Curie temperature variations are severe in HIMR, which degrade the bit error rate (BER) performance obviously. In this study, we propose a multitrack detection scheme with joint intertrack interference and media noise mitigations. Here a multi-task neural network (MTNN) is designed to simultaneously predict ITI pattern and residual media noise, then the 2D variable equalizers corresponding to different ITI patterns are implemented and predicted residual media noises are embedded into the branch metrics of modified Bahl-Cocke-Jelinek-Raviv (BCJR) detector to mitigate ITI and whiten media noise. The simulation demonstrates that the proposed MTNN with variable equalizer and modified BCJR detector (MTNN+VE+MB) algorithm mitigates the ITI and media noise effectively. At the channel bit density of 3.10 Tb/in2, it provides 2.6 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gain compared to that of conventional 2D fixed equalizer with pattern dependent noise prediction detector (FE+PDNP) for the low temperature (LT) tracks with 4% Curie temperature variance.
