Improvement of recording performances through exchange coupling in triple-layered PMR media

Improved recording performances with exchange coupling between bottom magnetic layer and medium magnetic layer in triple-type perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) media are presented. Fundamentally, triple-type PMR media with exchange coupling between magnetic layers reduces DC erase noise and improves writability. Furthermore, triple-type PMR media could be expected clear magnetic cluster as well as relatively sharp transition pattern. Consequently, better spectral integral signal-to-noise ratio (SpiSNR), improved OW and about 1.5–2.0 order better bit error rate (BER) performances in triple-type PMR media with exchange coupling between magnetic layers were attributed to the reduction of DC erase noise and sharp transition as well as improved writability. In addition, work of micro-magnetic modeling on SNR profiles could help to verify the understanding on the role of exchange coupling between magnetic layers in triple-type PMR media.     

Read channel simulation based on microtrack and micromagnetic modeling for 1 Tb/in magnetic recording

Channel design for ultra-high-density perpendicular magnetic recording requires fast and precise modeling to generate readback signals corrupted by media noise. In this paper, we present a geometric-dependent approach to model random readback pulses, where a three-dimensional head and media combination for 1 Tb/in² density design is considered in the micromagnetic simulation. A systematic approach is developed to extract media noise statistics from micromagnetic modeling and generate readback pulses based on a fast microtrack model incorporating nonlinear effects. The feasibility of the proposed model is demonstrated through bit-error-rate (BER) simulation of a turbo equalization scheme over a low-density parity-check (LDPC) coded, general-partial-response (GPR) equalized perpendicular recording channel.     

Performance of run-length limited (4, 18) code for optical storage systems

In this paper, the authors investigate the performance of recently presented run-length limited (4, 18) code for high density optical storage systems. The construction of the code is described simply. The code has code rate R = 1/3 and density ratio (DR) = 1.67. The bit error rate (BER) performance for decision feedback equalizer (DFE) and partial response maximum likelihood (PRML) detector are simulated, considering signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and optical channel jitter. The result shows that the performance of the code is acceptable. The encoder and decoder of the code are implemented by complex programmable logic device (CPLD) chip and the hardware resources required for encoder and decoder arelow.

Minimizing correlation effect using zero cross correlation code in spectral amplitude coding optical code division multiple access

The use of minimal multiple access interference (MAI) in code design is investigated. Applying a projection and mapping techniques, a code that has a zero cross correlation (ZCC) between users in optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) is presented in this paper. The system is based on an incoherent light source—LED, spectral amplitude coding (SAC), and direct detection techniques at the receiver. Using power spectral density (PSD) function and Gaussian approximation, we obtain the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the bit-error rate (BER) to measure the code performance. Making a comparison with other existing codes, e.g., Hadamard, MFH and MDW codes, we show that our code performs better at BER 10⁻⁹ in terms of number of simultaneous users. We also demonstrate the comparison between the theoretical and simulation analyses, where the results are close to one another.     

Estimation and cancellation of multi-user interference in synchronous fiber-optic PPM-CDMA system using Manchester coding

A multi-user interference estimation and cancellation technique is proposed for direct-detection fiber-optic code division multiple-access communication systems employing pulse-position modulation. In addition, Manchester codes are used in signaling the transmitted data to further improve the bit-error rate (BER). The multi-user interference of any user is estimated with the help of properties of modified prime code sequences. The estimated interference is canceled out from the received signal after the photo-detection process. We have used PIN photo-detector in our proposed system. An upper bound on the BER for the proposed system is derived and compared with a lower bound on the BER for the system without cancellation. In the presence of multiple users interference (MUI) and the Poisson shot noise model, our results clearly indicate that the performance, in terms of the BER, of the proposed system is significantly improved compared with that of the system without cancellation. The effect of thermal, dark current and surface leakage noise is insignificant compared to MUI and thus will not be considered in our calculation of BER.     

Restriction of shot noise and material noise in a multilevel photochromic memory on signal-to-noise ratio

The recording density of multilevel photochromic memory is limited by the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the readout signal. In this paper, shot noise and material noise are investigated through theoretical analysis of SNR. When the bandwidth of a system is less than 1MHz, the material noise takes a prominent position; when the bandwidth of the system is more than 10MHz, the shot noise becomes dominant. The thickness of recording layer can be optimized to maximize the SNR and reduce the influence of the bandwidth of the system on SNR.     

High speed integrated RF–VLC data communication system: Performance constraints and capacity considerations

In this research paper, we propose a two-hop integrated radio frequency–visible light communication (RF–VLC) system which may provide a better option to transceive between the hospitals and some laboratory to transfer patient’s information. In the proposed system model, the data (such as patient’s lab test reports) is transmitted towards the amplify and forward (AF) relay mounted on the top of the hospital building via the RF channel. Further, the AF relay amplifies and converts the received information into corresponding optical signal using light emitting diodes (LED) and supporting circuitry. This optical signal is then forwarded towards the destination device (equipped with VLC transceiver), via the VLC channel. To analyse the performance of the system, we first derive the closed form analytical expressions for the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the end-to-end (e2e) signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the system by using the moment generating function (MGF) of the SNR of the individual RF and VLC channels. Further, we use these statistical expressions to obtain the outage probability, average bit error rate (BER) and the average capacity of the system. Moreover, the asymptotic performance of the proposed system is also analysed to study the system’s behaviour at high SNR regimes. Finally, we studied the impact of the variations in channel parameters on the proposed system model performance through numerically simulated plots.     

Evaluation of coherent homodyne and heterodyne optical CDMA structures

This paper evaluates the coherent optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) techniques and examines the overall system performance in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) penalty as a function of simultaneous users accommodated to maintain an appropriate value of the bit-error rate (BER) for homodyne and heterodyne detections. As spreading codes, the proposed structures are utilizing a recently introduced prime code family hereby referred to as double-padded modified prime code (DPMPC). As a coherent modulation, binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) format is deployed. In homodyne detection, two different phase modulations are studied including either an external phase-modulator or injection-locking methods. The phase limitation and the performance for two methods plus multiple-access interferences (MAI) and receiver noise in a shot-noise limited regime are investigated. In heterodyne detection, BER analysis of the system based on only external phase modulator is examined. It is found that by maintaining BER = 10⁻⁹, this system can accommodate an increased number of simultaneous users to compare with systems which employ conventional bipolar codes.     

Analysis of a DPSK soliton transmission system

We present a closed form expression to analyse the error performance of a differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) digital modulation format in an optical soliton communication system. In the analysis we include the effect of Gordon-Haus jitter, which is mainly due to the amplified spontaneous emission noise of the amplifiers. Gordon-Haus jitter is found to be less significant when the bit period is 15 times greater than the jitter variance and becomes more significant when the signal-to-noise ratio is greater than 20 dB. Due to a good bit error rate (BER) performance (BER ≈ 10⁻²⁰at SNR= 21 dB), the DPSK modulation format has a potential application for a high-bit-rate and low-noise soliton communication system.     

Dependence of error patterns and BER performance on write pre-compensation in GPRML channels

Nonlinear transition shift (NLTS) influences the performance of PRML channels in perpendicular magnetic recording. For NLTS, it is thought that write pre-compensation is useful to write the transition at the intended position. In this paper, we study the influence of NLTS on the BER performance of GPRML channels and show the appropriate amount of pre-compensation for GPRML channels both with and without a post-processor (PP) to achieve better BER performance. The results show that the widening the shortest bit length by NLTS brings the BER improvement to GPRML channel and the write pre-compensation is useful for a GPRML channel with PP.     

Performance analysis of direct-sequence spread-spectrum underwater acoustic communications with low signal-to-noise-ratio input signals

Direct-sequence spread-spectrum signals collected from the TREX04 experiment are analyzed to determine the bit-error-rate (BER) as a function of the input signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for a single receiver. A total of 1160 packets of data are generated by adding ambient noise data collected at sea to the signal data (in postprocessing) to create signals with different input-SNR, some as low as -15 dB. Two methods are analyzed in detail, both using a time-updated channel impulse-response estimate as a (matched) filter to mitigate the multipath-induced interferences. The first method requires an independent estimate of the time-varying channel impulse-response function; the second method uses the channel impulse-response estimated from the previous symbol as the matched filter. The first method yields an average BER <10(-2) for input-SNR as low as -12 dB and the second method yields a similar performance for input-SNR as low as -8 dB. The measured BERs are modeled using the measured signal amplitude fluctuation statistics and processing gain obtained by de-spreading the received signal with the transmitted code sequence. Performance losses caused by imprecise symbol synchronization at low input-SNR, uncertainty in channel estimation, and signal fading are quantitatively modeled and compared with data.     

Analytical characterization of detection SNR for PR target design in Viterbi-based receivers

In this paper, we address the problem of designing the optimum partial-response (PR) target that results in the best bit-error-rate (BER) performance in Viterbi-like detectors when applied for signal detection in digital magnetic recording systems. We present a detailed analysis of the effective detection signal-to-noise ratio (SNR_eff), which is closely related to the BER performance of a Viterbi detector. We show that SNR_eff is a concave function with a unique global maximum corresponding to the magnitude frequency response of the optimum targets. Thus, any simple search approach is guaranteed to reach the optimum target. We consider the cases of single dominant error event and multiple dominant error events. Numerical and simulation results are presented to corroborate our analytical results for perpendicular magnetic recording channels.     

Physical noise model of a uniformly doped nanoscale FinFET photodetector

The noise mechanisms of a uniformly doped nanoscale FinFET photodetector including quantum mechanical effects is investigated theoretically. A numerical model has been developed for computation of different noise components in nanoscale FinFET. The drain current channel thermal noise under illuminated conditions is calculated. The noise parameters of the nanoscale FinFET equivalent circuit are strongly influenced by the incident optical signal and the quantum mechanical effects are found to play a major role in determining the overall noise performance of the device. It also reveals that the operating frequency can be adjusted suitably to make the noise behavior independent of the incident optical power. Other noise components such as Shot noise, thermal noise and diffusion noise have been calculated for the two port FinFET photodetector. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), Bit error rate (BER) and noise equivalent power (NEP) has also been calculated.

Data transfer using the low frequency longitudinal guided wave in a liquid-filled pipe

Guided wave mode selection for data transfer along a liquid-filled pipe is analyzed in detail on the basis of the propagation properties of the guided waves in the pipe. The combination of frequency hopping spread spectrum and Turbo code is adopted to overcome the multipath interference with long time delay of the liquid-filled pipe channel. A Turbo coded frequency hopping data transfer system using the guided wave in the liquid-filled pipe is constructed. Experimental results indicate that the data transfer rate of the system can reach 250 bit/s and its bit error rate (BER) can be lower than 10^?5 if the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the received signal is greater than 6 dB.

New design of spectral amplitude coding in OCDMA with zero cross-correlation

A zero cross-correlation (ZCC) code is proposed to reduce the impact of system impairment and multiple access interference (MAI) in spectral amplitude coding optical code division multiple access (SAC-OCDMA) system. Bit-error-rate (BER) performance is derived taking into account the effect of some noises. The key to an effective OCDMA system is the choice of efficient address codes with good or almost zero correlation properties for encoding the source. The use of ZCC code can eradicate phase induced intensity noise (PIIN) which will contribute to better BER. Thus, we demonstrate, theoretically, the performance of optical ZCC code. It is shown that optical ZCC code can accommodate more users simultaneously for the typical error rate of optical communication system of 10⁻⁹. The result indicates that the established system not only preserves the capability of suppressing MAI, but also improves bit-error-rate performance as compared to the conventional coders.
