Abstract

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a cross-talk cancellation method, a computer program for implementing a cross-talk cancellation method, a signal processor comprising cross-talk cancellation means, and an apparatus for reading a signal stored along a track on a storage medium, said apparatus comprising cross-talk cancellation means.
[0002] The present invention relates to storage systems in which data are stored along tracks on a storage medium. In modern storage systems, the inter-track spacing is chosen relatively small to allow for high storage densities. As a result, when reading a target track, data written on side tracks may appear in the recovered signal. This inter-track interference is called cross-talk.
[0003] The invention is advantageously used in such storage systems to improve the recovered signal by removing the cross-talk. For example, the invention applies to optical storage systems (DVD, Blu-ray Disc, Small Form Factor Optical Disc . ....
