Performance Evaluation of LDPC Coding and Iterative Decoding System for 3-D Magnetic Recording With Dot Position Fluctuation

The 3-D magnetic recording using the microwave-assisted magnetic recording and a spin-torque oscillator as a reading sensor has been proposed as a candidate of the prospective recording technologies. In our previous research, we have constructed the read/write channel of the envelope model to evaluate a variety of signal processing for the 3-D magnetic recording. In this paper, we apply the low-density parity-check coding and iterative decoding system including turbo equalization to the 3-D magnetic recording channel model with dot position fluctuation and evaluate the bit error rate performance by the computer simulation. The results clarify that the tolerance of dot position fluctuation which “no errors” is able to be achieved.
