Modified Partial Response Maximum Likelihood Detection Using the Relative Probability of the 17PP Code for Optical Storage Systems
Joohyun Lee, Jaejin Lee · Japanese Journal of Applied Physics · 2004
In this paper, we propose a modified calculation method of the branch metric in partial response maximum likelihood (PRML) detection for high-density optical storage systems. The scheme is related to the relative probability of the run-length limited code. Hence, we also present the relative probabilities of the 17PP coded sequences for 2nd-, 3rd- and 4th-orders of PR targets. The modified PRML detection using the relative probability of the 17PP coded sequence has better bit error rate (BER) performance than conventional PRML detection.
