Abstract

In one implementation, the disclosure provides a system including a first circuit to compute a timing error based on a received error signal and an estimated interference signal and a timing loop filter to output a frequency offset and a phase shift based on the timing error received as input. The system also includes a phase accumulator to accumulate at least a phase shift to generate a sample index and phase and an interpolation filter to generate samples of a side track signal using the sample index and phase.

Claims (44)

1. A system comprising:

a first circuit configured to compute a timing error based on a received error signal and an estimated interference signal;

a timing loop filter configured to output a frequency offset and a phase shift based on the timing error received as input;

a phase accumulator configured to accumulate at least the phase shift to generate a sample index and a phase; and

an interpolation filter configured to generate samples of a side track signal using the sample index and the phase.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the phase accumulator is configured to accumulate the phase shift and a side track to center track frequency ratio to generate the sample index and phase.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interpolation filter is configured to generate samples of the side track signal by sampling an incoming side track signal using the sample index and the phase.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

an adaptor configured to generate an estimated side track signal using the samples of the side track signal and a timing error.

5. The system of claim 4 , further comprising:

a second circuit configured to generate a clean center track signal using a read back signal and the estimated side track signal.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the second circuit is configured to generate the clean center track signal by subtracting the estimated side track signal from the read back signal.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interpolation filter is a time varying interpolation filter structure, the interpolation filter generating parallel streams of samples of the side track signal.

8. The system of claim 7 , further comprising:

an adaptor configured to generate an estimated side track signal using the stream of samples of the side track signal generated by the interpolation filter and a timing error.

9. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:

a second circuit configured to generate a clean center track signal using a read back signal and the estimated side track signal by subtracting the estimated side track signal from the read back signal.

10. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second phase accumulator configured to accumulate a side track to center track frequency ratio to generate a second sample index and the phase.

11. The system of claim 10 , further comprising:

a second interpolation filter configured to generate a first stream of samples of the side track signal using the second sample index and the phase.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the interpolation filter is configured to generate samples of the side track signal using both the first stream of samples of the side track signal and the sample index and the phase.

13. A method comprising:

computing a timing error based on a received error signal and an estimated interference signal;

outputting a phase shift based on the timing error;

accumulating at least the phase shift to generate a sample index and a phase;

generating samples of a side track signal using the sample index and the phase; and

generating a clean center track signal using a read back signal and the estimated side track signal.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

generating an estimated side track signal using the samples of the side track signal and the error signal.

15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

outputting a frequency offset.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the clean center track signal is generated by subtracting the estimated side track signal from the read back signal.

17. A method comprising:

computing a timing error based on a received error signal and an estimated interference signal;

outputting a phase shift based on the timing error;

accumulating at least the phase shift to generate a sample index and a phase;

generating parallel streams of samples of a side track signal using the sample index and the phase; and

generating a clean center track signal using a read back signal and the estimated side track signal.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

generating an estimated side track signal using the samples of the side track signal and the error signal.

19. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

outputting a frequency offset.

20. The method of claim 17 , wherein the clean center track signal is generated by subtracting the estimated side track signal from the read back signal.
