Abstract

A variable rate bit inserter is provided which efficiently encodes data prior to writing to a magnetic storage media. In a preferred embodiment, the bit insertion technique monitors the phase and amplitude content of the data stream and inserts appropriate bit patterns to ensure that phase and amplitude lock are maintained on the data stream for reading and decoding purposes.
