Abstract: A magnetic recording system for recording information on a magnetic recording medium magnetized with a perpedicular magnetization component by a magnetic recording head so as to be reproduced by a magnetic reproducing head, the magnetic recording head including a leading side and a trailing side opposite to the leading side, the leading side leading the trailing side in terms of motion relative to the magnetic recording medium, the magnetic recording head generating a first magnetic field with a field strength from the leading side to the magnetic recording medium, and generating a second magnetic field from the trailing side to the magnetic recording medium, a field strength of the second magnetic field being smaller than that of the first magnetic field.

Abstract: A reproduction waveform signal l(having a frequency f) containing perpendicular and longitudinal components is reproduced from a recording medium which is magnetized in the vertical direction, thereby recording digital information. The signal is processed through a waveform processing circuit including an operational amplifier having an input side connected to a time constant-setting circuit comprising a capacitor and a resistor, thereby obtaining a processed waveform signal having a constant amplitude and a phase shifted by 2.times.(tan.sup.-1 2.pi.fA).degree. . Bits of the digital information is detected from the processed waveform signal.

Abstract: A magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus for recording data by using remanent magnetization perpendicular to a magnetic layer surface of a magnetic recording medium has an erase head for erasing the data from the recording medium in front of a recording head for recording the data on the recording medium.

Abstract: A magnetic recording medium for perpendicular magnetic recording comprises a low coercive force material, and a magnetic recording layer which is formed on the low coercive force layer and has magnetic anisotropy perpendicular to the surface of said low coercive force layer. The magnetic recording layer is of 0.3 .mu.m or less in thickness.
