Abstract
Abstract A magnetic recording method for recording a multiplex signal having two different frequency signals. A magnetic recording medium is used having a magnetic layer with a thickness which is smaller than a recorded wavelength of each of said two signals. The signal of a higher frequency is recorded at a current which is more than 2dB larger than the lower limit of the recording current with which a reproduced output level is saturated, and which is smaller than a current with which the reproduced output level is reduced by 1dB beyond said saturated condition. The signal of a lower frequency is recorded at a current which is smaller than one half of that of the signal of a higher frequency.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A magnetic recording method for recording a multiplex signal comprising two principal signals, comprising the steps of: using a magnetic recording medium having a magnetic layer with the thickness which is smaller than a recorded wavelength of each of said two principal signals; recording one of said principal signals having a higher frequency than that of the other signal at a current which is more than 2 dB greater than the lower limit of the recording current with which a reproduced output level is saturated, and which is smaller than a current with which the reproduced output level is reduced by 1 dB beyond said saturated condition; and recording said other principal signal of a lower frequency at a current which is smaller than one half of that of said signal of a higher frequency.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
A magnetic recording method for recording a multiplex signal comprising two principal signals, comprising the steps of: using a magnetic recording medium having a magnetic layer with the thickness which is smaller than a recorded wavelength of each of said two principal signals; recording one of said principal signals having a higher frequency than that of the other signal at a current which is more than 2 dB greater than the lower limit of the recording current with which a reproduced output level is saturated, and which is smaller than a current with which the reproduced output level is reduced by 1 dB beyond said saturated condition; and recording said other principal signal of a lower frequency at a current which is smaller than one half of that of said signal of a higher frequency.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A magnetic recording method as claimed in claim 1, in which said multiplex signal comprises a frequency modulated luminance signal and a frequency converted chrominance signal in a color video signal recording system.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
A magnetic recording method as claimed in claim 1, in which one or more additional signals other than said two principal signals are recorded in a multiplexed condition at a magnitude which is small enough not to substantially affect the transducing of said two principal signals.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
A magnetic recording method as claimed in claim 1, in which said signal of a higher frequency is recorded at a current which is smaller than the upper limit of the recording current with which the reproduced output level is saturated.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
A magnetic recording method as claimed in claim 1, in which said signal of a lower frequency is recorded at a current which is smaller than two-fifths of that of said signal of a higher frequency.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
A magnetic recording method as claimed in claim 1, in which the magnetic layer of the magnetic recording medium comprises a vacuum-evaporated metal layer.
