A key challenge to HAMR designing is accuracy of positioning, timing of the firing laser, power of the laser, thermo-magnetic head, head-disk interface and cooling system. We study the effect of HAMR parameters on transition center and transition width. The HAMR is model using Thermal Williams-Comstock (TWC) and microtrack model. The target and equalizer are designed by the minimum mean square error (MMSE). The result shows that the unit energy constraint outperforms other constraints. }, journal = {International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering}, volume = {8}, number = {3}, year = {2014}, pages = {541 - 547}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9997833}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/87}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 87, 2014}, }
