Abstract

The present invention combines low density parity checking with parallel equalization channels to enhance data retrieval from tape. Viterbi analysis is done as a precursor to the use of at least one low density parity decoder. A signal decoder may include a plurality of viterbi processors and at least one low density parity check decoder. The decoder may receive a plurality of pulse-shaped signals and produces decoded output signals.
