A specific design for microwave assisted magnetic recording (MAMR) at about 3 Tb/in2 (0.47 Tb/cm2 or 4.7 Pb/m2) is discussed in detail to highlight the challenges of MAMR and to contrast its requirements with conventional perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR). In particular, it has been determined that MAMR-optimized media should have: higher damping than today's PMR media upon which ferromagnetic resonance measurements are reported, very low intergranular exchange coupling, and somewhat…
