The effectiveness of read pulse slimming method by double step write current shaping, reported by Jacoby, is examined in detail. In this method, each transition of write current, I_ω is preceded and followed by a minor transition, I_e of oppsite polarity. AC bias current, I_b is added to linearize the write process of a medium. The half width W_<50> and amplitude E of isolated read signal are observed over a wide range of I_ω, I_e and I_b. Flux reversal density characteristics of read amplitude for all 1's pattern, and overwrite erase rate are also examined. The results can be summarized as follows : 1) The value of W_<50> can be reduced to be about 60% of non-shaped read pulse, by setting I_ω=0.5 I_s (I_s : medium saturation current) I_b=0.75I_s and Ki=I_e/I_ω=0.8 2) For the range of above setting value of I_ω, I_s and Ki, the flat portion of density characteristics is widened to be about twice the value for non-shaped saturation recording. 3) Overwite erase rate becomes worse to be about -20dB or less and this is a weakness included in this method.
