Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This research project, involving co-operation between Professor O'Reilly's research group at UCL and the Mass Storage department of GEC Plessey Semiconductors, is concerned with examining novel improved coding and signal processing strategies for application to high density disc drive systems. The programme builds upon prior work in Professor O'Reilly's group (then at UCNW Bangor) concerned with combined channel coding schemes, linking this to practical experience of conventional schemes within GPS. The research will address improvements to emerging cascade coding schemes, seeking to exploit the detailed structure of the channel and its error characteristics. The programme will then proceed to examine combined error control and run length limited coding arrangements with a view to achieving improved performance/density. The expected outcomes include improved understanding of the limitations on coded disc system performance and practical realisation of enhanced systems.
