    Abstract: A method of modulating digital data to a variable-length code (d, k; m, n; r) for recording information on and reproducing the same from an optical disc (21). The optimal range of a minimum run length d corresponding to the minimum number of successive same symbols is determined by a procedure which comprises a first step (52, 53) to determine the minimum S/N required for obtaining a desired error rate from the relationship between a bit error rate and the S/N when d = 0; a second step (54) to obtain the relationship between a change of the numerical value d and that of the S/N by calculating, on the basis of the required minimum S/N obtained at the first step (52, 53), the S/N loss caused due to the change of the numerical value d; and a third step (55) to determine, from the relationship between the numerical value d and the S/N, the range of the value d corresponding to the S/N of the transmission characteristic dependent on an optical system and an optical disc (21).

    Abstract: A synchronization detector includes a NRZI circuit (2) for extracting edge portions of RF signals detected as binary-valued signals to form a pulse train, a counter (6) for counting the number of channel clocks in the distance between transitions represented by the edge portions, a latch circuit (5) operated responsive to pulses from the NRZI circuit for holding a number of previously counted channel clocks immediately preceding a current count of channel clocks, and AND gates (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) and an OR gate (13) for detecting synchronization signals when the combination of the channel clocks from the counter and the latch circuit is the combination of the maximum distance between transitions Tmax and Tmax-kT (k = 1 or 2) of a (d, k; m, n; r) modulation code. Synchronization signals may be detected promptly even if the frame structure is increased in size to enable restoration of synchronization to be expedited when frame structure synchronization is not in order. A demodulator utilizing the synchronization signal detector is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A modulating method and apparatus and a demodulating method and apparatus in which a variable length code (d, k;m, n,r) which can provide a greater minimum reversal distance to allow recording of a higher density than ever is provided. According to the modulating method and apparatus, digital data of a basic data length of m bits is modulated into a variable length code (d, k;m, n;r) of a basic code length of n bits, and where the distance between adjacent ones of the digital data is represented by T, the minimum reversal distance of the variable length code is equal to or greater than 2.0T and the minimum length of a run of a same symbol is equal to or greater than 4. The demodulating apparatus demodulates the digital data back into the variable length code and comprises storage means for storing therein a plurality of tables for converting the digital data into the variable length code, discriminating means for discriminating the binding length of the digital data, and selecting means for selecting one of the tables in accordance with a result of discrimination of the discriminating means.

    Abstract: An 8->10 modulator (13/22) stores a conversion table, and, when receiving 8-bit data as an address, outputs 10-bit data stored at the received address as a modulated code. The conversion table of the 8->10 modulator is constructed such that each NRZI-represented 10-bit datum includes at least one "0."

    Abstract: A device is disclosed for encoding a stream of databits of a binary source signal (S) into a stream of databits of a binary channel signal (C) satisfying a (d,k) constraint, wherein the bitstream of the source signal is divided into n-bit source words (x1, x2), which device comprises converting means (CM) adapted to convert said source words into corresponding m-bit channel words (Y1, Y2, Y2). The converting means (CM) are further adapted to convert n-bit source words into corresponding m-bit channel words, such that the conversion for each n-bit source word is parity preserving (table I). The relations hold that m>n>=1, p>=1, and that p can vary. Preferably, m=n+1. Further, a sync word generator (9) is available for generating a q-bit sync word also satisfying said (d,k) constraint, the said sync word starting with a "0' bit and ending with a "0' bit, the device further comprising merging means (19) for merging said sync word in said stream of databits of the binary channel signal, and that q is an integer value larger than k. (FIG. 1)Further, a decoding device is disclosed for decoding the channel signal obtained by means of the encoding device.

    Abstract: There is disclosed a modulating system (30) for converting data of a basic data length of m bits into a variable length code (d, k; m, n; r) of a basic code length of n bits, which comprises the steps of: judging a binding length i (i=1 SIMILAR r) of the basic data; uniformly converting data of mxi bits into a code of nxr bits by using a conversion table for converting data of mxr bits where the binding length i is the maximum binding length r, and including at least one conversion table where the binding length i is less than r; and taking out specific bits from the code of nxr bits thus obtained on the basis of the judged binding length i to output them as a modulation code. Further, there is also disclosed a demodulating system (40) for converting, in reverse direction, a variable length code (d, k; m, n; r) of a basic code length of n bits into data of a basic data length of m bits, comprising the steps of: judging a binding length i of the variable length code; uniformly converting, in reverse direction, a variable length code of nxi bits into data of mxr bits by a reverse conversion table for converting, in reverse direction, a variable length code of nxr bits where the binding length i is the maximum binding length r, and including at least one reverse conversion table where the binding length i is less than r; and taking out specific bits from data thus obtained on the basis of the judged binding length i to output it as reproduction data.
