Abstract: The present invention pertains to a modulation apparatus and method in which the modulation apparatus is realized with a simple circuit structure and is easily applicable to other systems. A pattern conversion unit 32 converts data having a basic data length of 2 bits supplied from a DSV control bit determination and insertion unit 31 into a variable-length code having a basic code length of 3 bits in accordance with a conversion table. A minimum-run-length limitation code detection unit 33 detects, from a data sequence containing a DSV control bit, the position of minimum runs consecutive from a channel bit string converted by the pattern conversion unit 32. A consecutive-minimum-run replacement unit 34 replaces a predetermined portion of the channel bit string supplied from the pattern conversion unit 32 for a predetermined pattern based on the position information supplied from the minimum-run-length limitation code detection unit 33, and limits the minimum run length to a predetermined number or less.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a modulation apparatus and method and a DSV-control-bit generating method for suppressing an increase in circuit size of the modulation apparatus. When an input data stream is supplied to a DSV control bit determination unit 31, the DSV control bit determination unit 31 determines a DSV control bit to be inserted into the input data stream. Upon supplying the input data stream to the DSV control bit determination unit 31, the input data stream is simultaneously supplied to a delay processor 32. The input data stream is delayed for a predetermined delay time and supplied to a determined-DSV-control-bit insertion unit 33. The determined-DSV-control-bit insertion unit 33 inserts the DSV control bit determined by the DSV control bit determination unit 31 into a predetermined position of the input data stream supplied by the delay means and supplies the input data stream containing the DSV control bit to a modulator 34.

Abstract: Digital information is recorded with high density. Positions of a leading edge and a trailing edge of an information pit are shifted from a reference position indicated by a leading edge of a reference clock in a step-wise fashion in respond to digital data to be recorded.

Abstract: In an information recording medium from which information recorded on each pit is reproduced by an optical detection system that obtains a reproduced signal corresponding to each pit by scanning the information recording medium along pit rows by a light beam, data of high recording density can be accurately reproduced by a simple arrangement by shifting in a step-wise fashion edge positions of an information pit from a predetermined reference position in response to digital information to be recorded within a range corresponding to a predetermined shift period smaller than a transition period of a reproduced signal determined in response to a transfer characteristic of the optical detection system. Therefore, a nonlinear intersymbol interference can be reduced without emphasizing a noise component.
