Abstract
A system for encoding digital data with an M-ary (d,k) code to provide multi-level coded data where M>2 comprises an M-ary (d,k) encoder for accepting digital input data. The M-ary (d,k) coder encodes the digital input data to produce a plurality of code symbols, where each code symbol is at one of M levels and each pair of non-zero code symbols is separated by at least d but no more than k zeros. A waveform encoder converts the code symbols into waveform signal amplitudes compatible with a multi-level channel. Each waveform signal amplitude is generated by modulo M addition of a current code symbol with a previous waveform signal amplitude. A specific M=6 (2,4) code provides high density recording to a multi-level storage medium. The M=6 (2,4) encoder is implemented using a six-state encoder and a modulo six waveform encoder.
