  • the system comprises taking a narrow band analog signal and modulating it in such a way that its signal is spread over a wide band of frequencies, and then taking a second signal and spread it, or lay it over the first signal, but the spreading process is done with orthogonal-coded signals so separation of the channels is maintained.
  • These channels are laid on top of one another in the spectrum, utilizing as many channels as possible, limited only by the signal/noise ratio available in the particular wide band.
  • the system approaches the Shannon limit for a given band width and signal noise ratio that's available, i.e. the theoretical available maximum signal transmission capacity.
  • spreading means taking your narrow band analog signal and spread its spectrum by modulating it 316 with a pseudo random pattern whose pattern would be itself a binary two-level pattern and would go through a multiplier 320.
  • the double lines represent multiple channels. However, for now we are just talking about one channel. This signal would be multiplied 320 by the orthogonal wide band signal 318 called the Walsh function. Walsh functions are made orthogonal over one another.
  • Orthogonal means that the integral of function 1 multiplied by function 2 over a large amount of time is zero.
  • an orthogonal weight form is multiplied against the narrow band signal, if it's a pseudo random pattern, it spreads the spectrum. So that would form one channel of the many channels output by the multiplier 320; in the digital communication, that would be one out of N bits.
  • another spreading code is used that's orthogonal to the first spreading code; it is multiplied against the second bit of information, spreading its spectrum, then laid down over the first spectrum.
  • the originals are orthogonal so that they can be unscrambled later in detection scheme 350, all of it in parallel to get all these bits back out.
  • the recording system repeats this layering N times, N being limited by the available signal/noise ratio until the channel is filled up to the Shannon capacity as defined by band width and SNR, and then noise-like waveform is transmitted. While it looks like noise, it's really a composition of all these layered spectrum; then it is heterodyned again to set it up at in some band of frequencies you run it through a linear channel 330; the channel linearizes the duty cycle modulator as explained, and then the linearized composite is recorded to the disc, or tape or whatever magnetic process.

Abstract

A l'heure actuelle, pratiquement tous les systèmes de stockage de données disponibles dans le commerce utilisent des techniques d'enregistrement par saturation et de signalisation binaire. Les canaux de transmission de l'art antérieur utilisés dans les systèmes de stockage utilisaient diverses formes de détection bit par bit. Plus récemment, diverses formes de maximum de vraisemblance de réponse partielle ou d'égalisation à décision rétroactive sont apparues dans des produits. Ces améliorations sont toujours limitées par le fait que le canal de données de stockage est un canal de saturation, et à ce titre, possède une capacité de gestion de l'information significativement réduite comparée à celle d'un canal de données linéaire. Les défauts des supports d'enregistrement sont actuellement répertoriés au niveau de la fabrication et éliminés dans des conditions normales d'utilisation du dispositif, alors que les erreurs restantes sont corrigées par un code de correction d'erreur. Cependant, à des densités d'antennes supérieures, les défauts des supports tendent à devenir un problème plus important. Les applications présentées ci-avant utilisent une technique de linéarisation pour linéariser les canaux d'enregistrement magnétiques sans pour autant connaître une perte de signal sur bruit ou une perte de largeur de bande. A partir de ces données, l'objectif est d'utiliser le canal d'enregistrement aussi près que possible de sa limite de capacité théorique. Les systèmes de communication à spectre étalé sont également connus. A l'origine conçu par l'actrice Heddy LaMar et le musicien George Antheil et décrit dans le brevet américain ''système de communication secret'', brevet U.S. 2 292 387 du 11 août 1942, la fréquence de la porteuse était modifiée de façon pseudo-aléatoire par étapes discrètes pour étaler le spectre au niveau de l'émetteur. Les fréquences de porteuse reçues étaient démodulées par synchronisation avec la modulation pseudo-aléatoire transmise connue pour désétaler le spectre. Pour un récepteur non synchronisé, le signal à spectre étalé ressemblait à du bruit, mais le récepteur envisagé pouvait désétaler le spectre et récupérer les informations. Un autre avantage supplémentaire apporté aux systèmes de communication était la résistance au brouillage de la bande étroite ainsi qu'à l'évanouissement dû à l'atmosphère et aux annulations par trajets multiples. Le présent inventeur reconnaît que ce système de communication peut être adapté pour stocker efficacement des données linéarisées dans un système de stockage magnéto-optique.
