Abstract

Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for write pre-compensation. For example, various embodiments of the present invention provide methods for modifying magnetic information transfer. The methods include retrieving magnetically represented data from a storage medium, and converting the magnetically represented data to a series of data samples. A preceding pattern and a transition status is identified in the series of data samples, and an equalized channel response is computed based on an estimated NLTS value. An error value is computed that corresponds to a difference between the estimated NLTS value and an actual NLTS value, and a pre-compensation value is computed based at least in part on the error value.
