Abstract
The output voltage obtained from a recording tape used in a high density digital application has been shown to be characterized by simple parameters. These parameters have been investigated and predicted to contribute to the signal-to-noise ratio expected from the tape and consequently the error rate obtained from a recording system using it. Measurements on a recording system gave confirmation of the basic ideas behind these predictions.
