Abstract

See full text

DVDs have currently the highest storage density among the optical discs of practical use. Due to the high storage density the reproduced signal is deteriorated by noise caused by inter-symbol interference, crosstalk, focus error, or mastering errors. A conventional threshold bit detector generates a high bit error rate in case of low SNR. For accurate reproduction of digital data from a DVD under low SNR conditions, a specific Viterbi detector is used which performs maximum likelihood sequence estimation.
