ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for removing transient DC level shifts caused by thermal asperities (TAs), thereby reducing TA induced errors. Read signal generated by a Magneto resistive (MR) is input to a continuous time filter and a sampler. Sampler output is input to a 1-D sampled filter which performs level equalization to remove DC Shift cased by TA disturbance. Sampled filter output is input to MUX along with sampler outputs. MUX selects sampled filter output during TAs. MUX output is input to a FIR filter and Viterbi decoder. Gain and Timing loop tracking and acquisition blocks receive sampler and FIR filter output and output correction signals for use by VGA and phase/frequency Detector.
