Runlength-limited sequences
Kees A. Schouhamer Immink · Proceedings of the IEEE · 1990
Runlength-limited (RLL) sequences are formally defined, and the runlength distribution and spectral properties of ideal RLL sequences are analyzed. A detailed description is furnished of the limiting properties of RLL sequences, and a comprehensive review is given of the practical aspects involved in the translation of arbitrary data into RLL sequences. Examples of code implementation are presented to illustrate the variety of possible design tools.>
