The tracking signals are recorded in respective first and second tracks which run parallel to each other in their longitudinal direction on the record carrier. The apparatus is provided With a receiver for receiving the information signal, and a converter for converting the information signal into a channel signal. The channel signal includes signal blocks of information with each signal block including a portion of the information signal. A writing head writes the channel signal in a third track on the record carrier. A reading head is adapted to read at least one of the first and second tracking signals from the first and second tracks. A generator generates a control signal from the at least first and second tracking signals read from the record carrier. The apparatus is adapted to record the information signal on the record carrier so that the length of a signal block of the channel signal is equal to an integer multiple of the wavelength of one of the first and second tracking signals.

The servo signals have been written with a magnetic head, not shown, having a comparatively large gap length. As a result, the servo signals are recorded deep into the magnetic tape. The magnetic-head unit comprises a read head and a write head to inscribe the track, the read head following a bounding line between adjacent servo tracks and in response to the servo signals read from said servo tracks and by the read head. The system in accordance with the invention is characterized in that it comprises control means which determine the sequence in which the information tracks are written, the read head either following a track or between two respective non-overwritten parts of the magnetic tape, or following a track or between two respective overwritten parts of the magnetic tape.

    摘要: In the duplex transmission of data signals over two-wire transmission paths the phenomenon of echo-signals is encountered, while simultaneously intersymbol interference occurs between the data symbols themselves. In order to reduce the influence of both the echo signals, and the intersymbol interference, the arrangement comprises a random access memory (16) which produces a correction value (c(i)) at each sampling instant to correct the received data signal. The memory is addressed from registers (13, 14) and a counter (15), the contents of the registers being determined by the data ssymbols transmitted last and the data symbols received last, respectively. A D-A converter (19) converts the correction value into a correction signal (c(t)), which in a difference producer (20) is subtracted from the received data signal. A sampling arrangement (21) samples the corrected received data signal. After D-A conversion (22) and multiplication (17) by a predetermined factor .alpha. each sample furnishes a number by which the correction value is changed to match it to the value of the pulse distortion at the sampling instant.

    摘要: An apparatus is disclosed for positioning a head relative to a plurality of tracks running parallel to each other in their longitudinal direction on a record carrier. The apparatus comprises a position detection unit for detecting the position of the head in a transverse direction, which has an output for supplying a first and a second position signal when the head is positioned onto each of two tracks. A memory is present for storing the first and second position signals. In a calibration mode of operation, a control signal generator generates a control signal to position the head onto one of the tracks and the memory stores the position signal generated by the position detection means. The control signal generator subsequently generates a second control signal so as to position the head onto the other track. The memory stores the second position signal generated by the position detection means. These position signals are recalled from memory when the apparatus switches from one track to the other, to effect an immediate positioning of the head to the desired track.

    摘要: Arrangement for cancelling echo signals in data transmission over a two-wire transmission path. The data signals occurring in the send path are applied to an adjustable signal processing arrangement. From said data signals a synthetic echo signal (e(t)) is derived which is subtracted in a difference producer from the data signal occurring in the receive path. The residual signal (r(t)) is converted into a digital residual signal (r(j)) in an analog-to-digital converter arrangement. An interpolator which increases the sampling rate by a factor L results in the production of a digital control signal (r(i)) from the digital residual signal, for the setting arrangement. The sampling rate of the digital residual signal is M/LT Hz, wherein T is the duration of a data symbol in sec. and M and L represent integers which are relatively prime, L being greater than one.
