ITI canceller for reading shingle-recorded tracks

Shingled magnetic recording attracts much attention as a new recording system for hard disk drive to make the narrower track than the writer-track-width. However, the issue for reading by a wider reader than the track width on the media remains, and the inter-track interference (ITI) from adjacent tracks causes the performance deterioration. To recover the performance, in this paper, we propose an ITI canceller for the reproduced waveform from shingle-recorded tracks, and evaluate the performance of the PRML channel.
