In the quest for reliable ultra-high-density media for data storage applications, patterned media is clearly recognised as providing a solution to the problems associated with continuous media, promising potential storage densities far exceeding those attainable using conventional technologies. This proposal is highly novel and extremely timely. We aim to investigate the problem of reliable data recovery from patterned media and the implications of the discrete media upon the performance of the data recovery process; an area where there is little information in the public domain. The data recovery process must be fully developed and characterised in order to unleash the full potential of patterned media as a viable storage solution. Read channel designs will be investigated, through extensive simulation and analysis, for use in magnetic and magneto-optic storage systems incorporating patterned media with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Initial designs will be established through the analysis and application of established data recovery techniques and new schemes will be developed that are sympathetic to the discrete nature of the media. Read channel performance will be investigated through the analysis of bit-error-rate performance in the presence of a variety of noise sources, in particular, those associated with the discrete nature of the media, determined through experimental replay analysis from sample patterned media.
