Applications and Limitations of the New Magnetic Recording Model

The simple magnetic recording model which describes the basic phenomena in terms of the growth and decay of a cylindrical magnetization volume from one side of the tape coating is reviewed. The relevance of practical tape hysteresis loops is considered and a model hysteresis loop developed and applied to the description of the recording process. Areas of applicability for the recording model are described including distortion in ac-bias recording. © 1962, IEEE. All rights reserved.
