Abstract
A method of equalizing a read channel of a mass magnetic memory device comprises attenuating the low frequencies of the spectrum of the analog signal originating from an electromagnetic read transducer without boosting the high frequency harmonic components of the spectrum. The low frequencies of the spectrum of the analog input signal are attenuated with a low pass filter of an order in a range from 6 to 8 and a boost is implemented by introducing two real and opposed zeroes in the transfer function of the filter without altering the group delay.
