Abstract

Systems and techniques relating to interpreting signals on a channel having an asymmetrical signal amplitude response can include generating multiple asymmetry matrices that model asymmetry in a received analog signal, including an effect of asymmetry spreading in a read channel; comparing the multiple asymmetry matrices; and selecting indicators of asymmetry from the matrices based on the comparing. Systems and techniques can include saving in memory an indication of the selected indicators of asymmetry.
