A plurality of data bits are magnetically recorded on a medium (such as a magnetic disk in a disk drive system) by creating a write bubble region encroaching on the medium. The write bubble region has a magnetic polarity that is reversed in a pattern that corresponds to the values of the data bits being recorded on the medium. The timing of the reversing of the magnetic polarity of the write bubble region is adjusted by a precompensation system to ensure that the recorded data bits are evenly spaced on the medium. The timing adjustment is made by the precompensation system based on a state of at least one data bit previously recorded on the medium and on a state of at least one data bit to be subsequently recorded on the medium.
A method of magnetically recording a plurality of data bits on a medium, the method comprising:
A disk drive write system for magnetically recording a plurality of data bits on a medium, the disk drive write system comprising:
