Digital signal magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus

摘要

A digital signal magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus converts a digital signal into a multi-value quadrature amplitude modulated signal, and records and reproduces the multi-value quadrature amplitude modulated signal. By using the multi-value quadrture amplitude modulation, any DC component in the recording signal is removed and utilization efficiency of the recording frequency band can be improved. By bias recording of the multi-value quadrature amplitude modulated signal, non-linearity of the electromagnetic of conversion system is reduced, and deterioration of SN ratio due to distortion is improved.
