Abstract

A new class of run-length-limited codes is introduced. These codes are called two-dimensional or multitrack modulation codes. Two-dimensional modulation codes provide substantial data storage density increases for multitrack recording systems by operating on multiple tracks in parallel. Procedures for computing the capacity of these new codes are given along with fast algorithms for implementing these procedures. Examples of two-dimensional codes are given to provide a comparison between the encoding rates obtainable with multitrack and traditional single-track codes.
