ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for reading an information signal from a magnetic storage medium using a magnetoresistive (MR) element, modifying the signal such that a thermal component of the signal representing a thermal response of the MR element is degraded, and altering the modified signal to produce a restored thermal signal substantially representative of the thermal component of the signal read from the storage medium. The information signal induced in the MR element is communicated from the MR element to an arm electronics (AE) module having a highpass filtering behavior. The AE module passes content of the information signal other than the thermal component content, thereby degrading the thermal component of the information signal. An inverse filter, implemented using an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter, receives the highpass filtered signal from the AE module and produces a restored thermal signal substantially representative of the thermal component of the information signal. The inverse filter has a response substantially inverse to that of the effective highpass filter of the AE module. A signal summing device is coupled to the AE module and the inverse filter for receiving a restored thermal signal from the inverse filter and a composite signal, including thermal and magnetic components, from the AE module and substantially eliminates the thermal component of the composite signal, which otherwise distorts or modulates the composite signal.
