Abstract
The present invention is directed to a detector for a high-density magnetic recording channel and other partial response channels. The present invention presents a method for decoding a high rate product code and a decoder which uses this method, comprising receiving a high rate product code; using a row detector to find a most likely codeword and a most likely error sequence for each row; and using a column processor to correct any remaining errors based on column parity bits and the most likely error sequence of each row. In a first aspect of the present invention, the row detector is implemented through a 2-VA detector. In a second aspect of the present invention, the row detector is implemented through a conventional VA detector and a hank of matched filters.
