We developed a new timing recovery system for magneto-optical disks (MO) with a higher recording density and higher transfer rate but it is difficult to achieve these without signal to noise ratio (SNR) degradation in the MO readout signal. Therefore, for signal processing, we have developed a turbo code technology, 1 which can obtain a high enough coding gain. However, as optimal phase to obtain the optimum performance of the turbo code must be detected, we developed a very precise phase timing recovery system that works under a degraded SNR in the MO readout signal. Moreover, as the turbo code is a kind of block code, which requires decoding by a turbo block unit, we also developed a system for detecting the start point for turbo decoding. We developed a new timing recovery system and, in this paper, we report architecture and performance evaluations of this system.
