Editing Partial-response maximum-likelihood (section)

=== Post-processor architecture ===
Given the rapid increase in complexity with longer targets, a post-processor architecture was proposed, firstly for EPRML.<ref>R. Wood, "[https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/281375 Turbo-PRML, A Compromise EPRML Detector]", IEEE Trans. Magn., Vol. MAG-29, No. 6, pp. 4018-4020, Nov. 1993</ref> With this approach a relatively simple detector (e.g. PRML) is followed by a post-processor which examines the residual waveform error and looks for the occurrence of likely bit pattern errors. This approach was found to be valuable when it was extended to systems employing a simple parity check<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Conway|first=T.|date=July 1998|title=A new target response with parity coding for high density magnetic recording channels|url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/703887|journal=IEEE Transactions on Magnetics|volume=34|issue=4|pages=2382–2386|doi=10.1109/20.703887|url-access=subscription}}</ref><ref>R.
