Title: A simple parity check matrix LDPC code for perpendicular magnetic recording channels
Abstract: In LDPC code design, the structure of code's parity check matrix can be very crucial to code performance. In this paper, we have investigated a simple designed parity check matrix when the code is applied to a PMR channel of a storage system. Belief propagation algorithm and min-sum algorithm are two major decoding algorithms used to benchmarked the code's merits. Additive white Gaussian noise channel (AWGN) and perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) channel with SISO equalizer in PR2 target are the conditions of our investigation. The LDPC code itself is a modified array type. Its construction fairly simple compared to normal array and quasi-cyclic code. We used two decision variables to define the permutation matrix. A method proposed by Tanner's et.al had been adapted to the modified array code. The decoders have been tested for 5 and 20. iterations. SNR versus BER and BLER were measured.
