Abstract

Reproduced signals are equalized by the least square technique by using a predetermined number of data samples binarized by a Viterbi decoder. Even when data written on an optical disk is unknown, the data can be equalized in a stable manner and can be reproduced at a low error rate without instability factors such as divergence due to interference.
