Abstract

A method for an analog recording of digital data is provided. The method has several steps. A data sequence is provided. A digital quantity of every N binary data, as an N-bit binary packet, of the binary sequence is converted into a plurality of symbols, which form a symbol sequence. The method further respectively converts the symbols into voltage levels so as to form a voltage analog-signal sequence. The voltage analog-signal sequence is than recorded into a recording medium in a frequency modulation (FM) channel, in which a pulse sliming equalization technology is used to linearly double the recording density. When the binary data sequence is desired to play back, the voltage analog-signal sequence from the recording medium is fetched first. Then, the binary data sequence is recovered by sampling the voltage levels of each symbol with N-bit discrete voltage levels so that the N-bit binary packet of each symbol is recovered and further sequentially forms the original binary data sequence.

Description of the invention (() The invention relates to a signal processing technology for data recording. The invention relates to a system and method for recording digits with analog signals According to the current development of semiconductor manufacturing technology, data devices capable of processing large amounts of bit data are also being developed. For example, high-capacity data devices such as digital television (DTV) and high-definition television (HDTV) are now being developed. And future electronic products will become the main products in daily life. These high-capacity data devices must have the ability to process a large amount of bit data and quickly transmit these bit data. Therefore, it has a high data recording density and can quickly The recorder that transmits these data must be developed to match the use of high-capacity data devices. In this way, data recording signals taken from daily life can be effectively recorded and replayed on data devices, such as digital television Therefore, the present invention provides a method for recording digital data by analog signals to increase the recording density. For example, 100 billion bits per inch square, this recording density is about ten times the current maximum density. The present invention uses a Vesttigial SideBand (VSB) -frequency modulation (FM) technology to increase the noise ratio ( Signal Noise Ratio (SNR) power.

Invention Explanation (>) carry data sequence. In this binary data sequence, every other certain number of bit data is converted into a number using a pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) technique, in which a number of bits ( N-bit) data is also called a certain number of bit packets. Thus, the binary data sequence is converted into a symbol data sequence, and each symbol represents the number. The method of the present invention changes the number of the symbol data sequence. It is converted into an analog signal and becomes an analog signal sequence. This type of analog signal sequence is then recorded to a recording magnetic medium using FM technology, in which the pulse width of the FM pulse signal is reduced by Sliming Equalization Technology ' To achieve a doubled recording density. The analog signal achieves a high recording track density via a state-of-the-art recording head. In this way, the binary data sequence can be recorded on a magnetic medium using an analog signal in the form of frequency modulation. In this method, the number of bit packets of each symbol does not necessarily have the same number (N). In other words. The number (N) after averaging is not necessarily an integer. But a certain number (N) of integers is a better way. The method of the present invention further uses the trace side frequency-frequency modulation (VSB-FM) technology to increase the noise specific power of 20 decibels (dB) to a level of 55 decibels, which can be used by subsequent technologies. The method of the present invention utilizes a pulse thinning technology to achieve a multiplied recording density. In this way, the recording density can achieve 200,000 FM transition signals per inch. Therefore, in one inch, the Chinese Communist Party can achieve a certain number of (N) X 200,000 FM transition signals, of which some (N) are preferably about two to five bits. The present invention also includes a method of higher than five bits in terms of the allowable range of recording errors. The method of the present invention further utilizes a state-of-the-art recording head to achieve a high recording track density, wherein the recording track density can reach 100,000 tracks / inch, and a liquid bearing is used to Decrease 4 (please read the note on the back?

Description of the invention (d) The present invention uses a trace side frequency (VSB) technology in conjunction with the frequency modulation technology, also known as the trace side frequency-frequency modulation technology 'to increase the noise specific power of 20 dB. This can use a pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) technique to record a binary data sequence with a symbol data sequence ', where each symbol data represents a certain number of (N) bits (N-bits). These certain bits are also called a certain number of bit packets. Pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) technology, for example, has been applied to modems to quickly transfer data. For this binary data sequence, every few bits are converted into symbol data, and each symbol data is recorded in a way corresponding to an analog potential. The number of bits contained in each of the above-mentioned N-bit packets is not necessarily equal, although the preferred methods are equal. In other words, the average number of bits (N-bits) is not necessarily an integer. For example, every two and three bits alternate to obtain a symbol 値. The detailed symbol conversion method will be described later. The increased noise ratio described above allows the present invention to use slimming equalization technology to reduce the pulse width of the FM pulse signal, thereby doubling the recording density. In addition, the present invention may also allow a state-of-the-art recording head, such as a magnetoresistive (MR) head, to increase the recording track density. Because the present invention uses a trace side frequency-frequency modulation technique, the present invention has sufficient signal-to-noise ratio power available to increase the data recording density. In this way, the present invention can undesirably increase the recording density of digital data by combining the three technologies with appropriate modifications. A more detailed embodiment is described below. When using Sector Servo Technology to access the current state of the disk, it needs a new signal processor. 6 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm).

Description of invention (s) format to cooperate with FM technology for video recording. Assume analog signals, such as video signals, It is recorded in amplitude modulation mode, and the noise above it must be very large. This is due to the poor quality of the contact surface between the magnetic head and the recording material. Trace side frequency-frequency modulation technology (VSB-FM) was therefore proposed by Ampex to exclude the contact surface. The problem of poor quality. This technology can refer to the article published by EE Anderson: "Motion Picture and Television Engineers, Vol. 67, Noll, pp 722, Nov_ 1958". Because of the trace side frequency-frequency modulation technology (VSB-FM) proposed by Ampex Can effectively exclude contact surfaces In the case of poor quality, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) power can be increased by 20 decibels on the image recording. This increase is also called the FM boost. However, the FM boost must be exchanged for the recording bandwidth. On the trace side In the frequency-frequency modulation technology (VSB-FM), there is not enough bandwidth available, but the 20 dB increase can reduce the noise by ten times. This makes the cassette recording and playback method a feasible method, which traditionally can Signal-to-noise specific power of about 30 dB. If the image is recorded with a magnetoresistive magnetic head (MR), it can typically reach signal-to-noise specific power of about 35 dB. Due to the amount of FM boost, the trace side frequency-frequency (VSB) -FM) recording method can have a total of 55 decibels available. This trace side-frequency-frequency (VSB-FM) recording method basically uses FM to record analog signals. Figure 1A shows a traditional analog AM signal. The analog signal is sampled once every fixed period of time. Figure 1B is a traditional FM method to record an analog AM signal, which is taken from the sampling point of Figure 1A. Please refer to Figures 1A and 1B. Fixed at intervals Sample M is sampled a little, so as to obtain a corresponding range a.

Description of the invention (6) The range ai, with Record in FM mode, as shown in Figure 1B. Each transition pulse is recorded on a recording track corresponding to each sampling point. The distance AL between the edge pulses is inversely proportional to the magnitude ai. The distance can also be proportional to the amplitude a; (not shown). The choice depends on the actual design. Assuming a sufficient number of sampling points, such analog signals can be accurately reconstructed based on the amplitude of the sampling points. In order to double the recording density, the width of the transition pulse must be reduced. Referring to FIG. 1C, the pulse width of the general recording density is reduced by thinning and equalizing techniques. In this way, the resolution between transition pulses can be increased, and the recording density is therefore doubled. This refinement and equalization process takes about 7 dB. In addition to refinement and other considerations, the present invention must also consider other factors to effectively use the available signal-to-signal power. FIG. 2 illustrates an analog signal and its corresponding binary data sequence according to the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 2. In the figure, the present invention uses a pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) principle to record a binary data sequence by analogy. In the figure, the analog number is sampled at multiple points, and each sample point is also called a symbol. The number of symbols 値 is obtained from a certain number of bit packets. A certain number (N) in the figure is equal to two (N = 2 bits), for example. In fact, the average number (N) is not necessarily an integer. In addition, if the signal error allows, some number (N) can be as large as ten. If the signal error is too large, it will cause signal distortion. In this example, since some (N) are equal to two, they have four levels. Each level also corresponds to a potential 値. After conversion, these binary data columns constitute a potential analog signal. This potential analog signal can be recorded in a trace side frequency-frequency (VSB-FM) recording method on a magnetic recording medium, such as 8 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) I Binding --- --- β This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 4 6 0 8 5 9 A7 4846twf.doc / 〇〇8 B7 V. Description of the invention (?) Magnetic disk, a magnetic tape and a ^ -type video cassette player's one of the three. The present invention utilizes this pulse amplitude mediation (PAM) principle, which is similar to a pulse amplitude mediation (PAM) method used by a modem, so that a large amount of bit data can be recorded 'and the bit data can be quickly transmitted for data. Display devices, such as digital TVs, for recording and playback. The present invention utilizes a cassette recorder (VCR) to record bit data, which can reach a recording density of one million bits per inch. At present, images are recorded with a magnetoresistive magnetic head (MR), which typically has a signal-to-noise ratio of 35 decibels. The present invention further uses a trace side frequency-frequency modulation (VSB-FM) recording method, which can reach a total of 55 decibels. In order to increase the recording track density, it needs about 15 decibels, which can increase the traditional 3000 tracks / inch to 100,000 tracks / inch. The method is described later. In order to double the recording density on the recording track, as mentioned before, it needs 7 decibels. Therefore, there is still 33 dB left, which can be used by the Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) method. Under the basic requirement of 33 dB, it can achieve that each FM signal can store 5 bits of data correspondingly. Today's cassette recorders can reach 100,000 transition signals / inch. When 7dB is used to double the recording density on the recording track, the cassette recorder can reach 200,000 transition signals / inch. Take a trace side frequency-frequency (VSB-FM) recording method with a center bandwidth of 5MHz as an example. At 20% of the additional bandwidth, a FM transition signal corresponds to 5 bits of data, which is within an acceptable error range. within. As shown in Fig. 1A, a sampling point corresponds to a migration signal. In this way, the present invention can reach a bit packet of 5 bits. Thus, on a recording track, the recording density can reach 1 million bits / inch. In the above-mentioned present invention, a method for improving the recording density has been described. 9 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (21〇χ 297 mm) ----------- installation -------- order ---- ^ ---- Ί · ^ (Τ (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, printed 460859 A7 4846twf.doc / 008 V. Explanation of the invention (3) Further consideration is' how to improve Recording track density. The conventional recording track density is only 3000 tracks / inch. The following invention discloses a method to achieve the expected recording track density of 100,000 tracks / inch. Thus, according to the present invention, the total recording density can reach 100 Gbit / inch square, Gbit = one billion bits. This is ten times higher than the 10 Gbit / inch square claimed by IBM. In I975, Kanai et al. Published an article (IEEE on Magnetics, Vol. Mag-11, No. 5, pp. 1212-1214, Sept. 1975). The article discusses the possibility of using a magnetoresistive head to achieve a recording track density of 100,000 tracks / inch. Theoretically 100,000 tracks / inch is possible Achieved, however, it must have sufficient signal-to-noise ratio power. At the time of publication of its article, 100,000 tracks / inch could not be achieved 'Because the signal-to-noise ratio power is insufficient. In addition, in the mechanical aspect of the magnetic disk drive, in order to reduce the data access servo drive error, the traditional ball bearing must be replaced by a liquid bearing. Figure 3 shows a typical magnetic used in the present invention. Magnetoresistive head. The magnetoresistive element is a magnetic thin film formed on a substrate. The width of the thin film is Δί. If At is equal to 0.2 micron, the recording track density is 100,000 tracks / inch. In the present invention 'because the frequency modulation method is used for recording Data, there is a 20-dB FM boost, so that a 100,000-track / inch recording track density can be achieved. This part 'requires about 15-dB signal-to-noise-to-noise power. And liquid bearings are used for data access of the disk drive Servo drive, its spatial accuracy can reach 1 microinch 'or 10% of the track pitch. The conclusion of the above method of the present invention is as follows; the present invention uses the trace side frequency_frequency modulation (VSB-FM) recording method, In order to increase the signal-to-noise ratio power to 55 decibels, 15 decibels are used to achieve a record track density of 10,000 tracks / inch. 7 paper sizes are applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (2 10 × 297 cm Love) ( Notes on the back read and then fill this page)
