Abstract
A sampled amplitude read channel for disk storage systems is disclosed which asynchronously sub-samples an analog read signal significantly below the Nyquist rate (the baud rate) in order to increase the effective data rate without increasing the frequency of the sampling device. Interpolated timing recovery up-samples the asynchronous samples to generate sample values synchronized to the baud rate, and a Viterbi sequence detector detects the recorded digital data from the synchronous sample values. To compensate for the time-varying characteristics of the recording device, a discrete-time equalizer adaptively equalizes the asynchronous sample values using a least mean square (LMS) adaptive algorithm,
