We have evaluated the system property for perpendicular magnetic recording such as error rate characteristics. Medium noise of perpendicular magnetic recording is not presently small, which limits performance at high recording density, so the guidance of noise reduction is immediately required. In this paper, we tried to specify the spatial noise occurrence point on medium by time domain analysis for singlepole head and double layered perpendicular disk. As results, transition jitter noise is more dominant than the noise caused by local reversal domain between transitions. Furthermore, we suspected that transition noise is caused by the size of magnetic cluster on recording layer and analyzed medium noise using new simulation model for perpendicular medium.
