© 1965-2012 IEEE.The two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR) technology promises storage densities of 10 Tbits/in2. However, when tracks are squeezed together, a bit stored in the two-dimensional (TD) grid suffers inter-symbol interference (ISI) from adjacent bits in the same track and inter-track interference (ITI) from nearby bits in the adjacent tracks. A bit is highly likely to be read incorrectly if it is isolated in the middle of a $3 \times 3$ square, surrounded by its complements, horizontally and vertically. We improve the reliability of TDMR systems by designing TD constrained codes that prevent these square isolation patterns. We exploit the way TD read heads operate to design our codes, and we focus on TD read heads that collect signals from three adjacent tracks. We represent the two-dimensional square isolation constraint as a one-dimensional constraint on an alphabet of eight non-binary symbols. We use this new representation to construct a non-binary lexicographically-ordered constrained code where one third of the input information bits are unconstrained. Our TD constraint codes are capacity-achieving, and the data protection is achieved with redundancy less than 3% and at modest complexity.

Managing Device Lifecycle: Reconfigurable Constrained Codes for M/T/Q/P-LC Flash Memories Hareedy, Ahmed; Dabak, Beyza; Calderbank, Robert (2021-01-01) © 1963-2012 IEEE.Flash memory devices are winning the competition for storage density against magnetic recording devices. This outcome results from advances in physics that allow storage of more than one bit per cell, coupled with advances in signal processing that reduce the effect of physical instabilities. Constrained codes are used in storage to avoid problematic patterns, and thus prevent errors from happening. Recently, we introduced binary symmetric lexicographically-ordered constrained codes (LOCO c...
Non-binary LDPC code optimization for partial-response channels Hareedy, Ahmed; Amiri, Behzad; Zhao, Shancheng; Galbraith, Richard; Dolecek, Lara (2015-01-01) © 2015 IEEE.In this paper, we analyze and optimize non- binary low-density parity-check (NB-LDPC) codes for magnetic recording applications. While the topic of the error floor performance of binary LDPC codes over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels has recently received considerable attention, very little is known about the error floor performance of NB-LDPC codes over other types of channels, despite the early results demonstrating superior characteristics of NB-LDPC codes relative to their bina...
Capacitive cmos readout circuits for high performance mems accelerometers Kepenek, Reha; Külah, Haluk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) This thesis presents the development of high resolution, wide dynamic range sigma-delta type readout circuits for capacitive MEMS accelerometers. Designed readout circuit employs fully differential closed loop structure with digital output, achieving high oversampling ratio and high resolution. The simulations of the readout circuit together with the accelerometer sensor are performed using the models constructed in Cadence and Matlab Simulink environments. The simulations verified the stability and proper ...
Plasmonic-photonic arrays with aperiodic spiral order for ultra-thin film solar cells Trevino, Jacob; Forestiere, Carlo; Dİ MARTİNO, Giuliana; Yerci, Selçuk; Priolo, Francesco; Dal Negro, Luca (2012-05-07) We report on the design, fabrication and measurement of ultrathin film Silicon On Insulator (SOI) Schottky photo-detector cells with nanostructured plasmonic arrays, demonstrating broadband enhanced photocurrent generation using aperiodic golden angle spiral geometry. Both golden angle spiral and periodic arrays of various center-to-center particle spacing were investigated to optimize the photocurrent enhancement. The primary photocurrent enhancement region is designed for the spectral range 600nm-950nm, w...
Nonplanar trapezoidal tooth log-periodic antennas: Design and electromagnetic modeling Ergül, Özgür Salih (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2005-10-18) Nonplanar trapezoidal tooth log-periodic (LP) antennas are investigated by combining the wisdom of theoretical design procedures with the power of accurate numerical simulation environments. Once the theoretical design is completed, electromagnetic simulations employing accurate integral equation solvers are utilized to test and correct the original design. A two-element array of trapezoidal tooth LP antennas is designed. The array features beam-steering ability as a novelty, in addition to frequency indepe...
