  • Efficient linearization of saturation channels
    Patent number: 6208594
    Abstract: A more linear duty cycle modulator is made by converting the sine wave bias into a triangle wave bias utilizing a sample and hold circuit as the base band signal is added; on readout, low pass filtering of the high frequency content of the duty cycle modulated waveform, the base band signal is recovered at full amplitude as if saturation recording was being utilized. In a further preferred approach, quadature amplitude modulation and demodulation is utilized.
