ABSTRACT:
A digital data recording/reproducing apparatus and method using frequency domain detection. The reproducer of the apparatus includes an analog-to-digital converter for converting the read-out signal from the storage means into digital data; a second serial-to-parallel converter for converting the digital data into a block of digital data; a frequency domain converter for converting the block of digital data into a block of frequency domain signals; and a detector for detecting bits of serial binary data from the block of frequency domain signals. The detector comprises a calculating means for calculating Euclidian norms between the block of frequency domain signals and plurality of reference data blocks, respectively, and determining a binary data set which corresponds to the minimum value of the Euclidian norms. Alternatively, the detector comprises a comparing means for sequentially comparing the block of frequency domain signals with a plurality of thresholds to determine the bits of serial binary data. Thus, non-linearity is avoided, and thus high density recording and lower clock frequencies are achieved.
