Abstract :
We introduce a new general runlength constraint for binary asymmetrical runlength limited (ARLL) sequences. This constraint can be used on any channel requiring specific runlength constraints. It is shown that this new constraint generalises many previous runlength constraints which are widely used. We present some information theoretical aspects of the new constraint. Certain choices of runlengths produce interesting spectral properties
