Re: [802.3_100GNGOPTX] MMF ad hoc - Thursday 27th March 2014 - SRS test diagram update



Thank all for your further inputs, I’ll implement them and send out a revision tonight .

 

Bon weekend

In hindsight, I think I agree with Patrick. Leave the switch out, remove the boxes on the BER and SER functions.

mike and dan,

 

i have a couple concerns about adding the switch into the drawing at all.  whether you use a switch or move cables or use a quad BERT or multiple single BERTs should be up to the implementer.  i think the drawing should show the most straightforward and illustrative way to make the measurement.

 

1) if you include it, you need it in three places: between the attenuator and PMD (as mike suggests), between the PMA and BERT input (as dan suggests), and between the aggressor optical sources and lanes not under test.

2) it makes the switch feel mandatory or at least suggested, rather than letting that be up to the implementer's discretion.  

 

would it be more... elegant, to use a numbering scheme to show that the BER method is looking at one lane at a time?  e.g. the lane under test's connection is TP3<i { 0:3>  (use the "exists on" e symbol), while the aggressor connections to the PMD could be TP3< k : 0:3, k != i>.  or something similar.  

 

i also think bit error ratio and symbol error ratio should have no box since they are measurements and not equipment.

 

cheers,

patrick

I think the switch is in the wrong place.  It needs to be on the input to the PMD/PMA not on the input to the BER.

 

I agree that the sinusoidal inteferer 1 also creates jitter, however in clause 87 it has frequency between 100MHz and 2GHz which is above the typical FM modulation bandwidth of pattern generators and is being used to create additional high probability jitter that no CDR is expected to track.  The FM input jitter is speced to follow the curve in amplitude and frequency for jitter tracking purposes.

Jonathan,

I probably should have been more involved in the call, but was forced to listen while driving.

I agree with Paul's comments and illustrated how I might change the drawing below. Note the switch indicating that all lanes are selectively tested for BER versus the graphic implication that only one lane is tested.

In addition, I guess I don't get why you insert a sinusoidal amplitude source before the limiter. Is this not equivalent to just adding more sinusoidal jitter? I would expect the limiter to eliminate any amplitude interference and only leave phase interference.

I also re-read clause 87 to determine why the diagram shows the use of the “Clean clock” for the signal characterization in figure 87-3.   The reason is that figure 87-3 is only used to measure J2, J9 and VECP when the sinusoidal jitter input frequency is “well within the 4 MHz to 10times LB”.  (ie it is intend to be at a frequency that the CDR in the Rx can’t track).   We need to make sure that this aspect of the test methodology is preserved in clause 95 (eg by referencing clause 87) when using this diagram.

Jonathan,

Thanks for your agile on-the-fly edits during yesterday’s call.  The new diagram seems to reflect what we agreed during that call.  I’ve just a couple touch-ups to suggest.

 

1.     The “Symbol error ratio” and “Bit error ratio” test outputs should be presented with equivalent appearance.  Specifically, they should both be shown within boxes or without boxes.  My interpretation of the other boxes is that each represents a hardware entity.  However, these test outputs do not.  Therefore I recommend removal of the box around “Bit error ratio”.

2.     The format of arrow pointing to “Symbol error ratio” is unlike all others.  Unless there is a good reason for this distinction, I’d recommend making it the same as the others.

 

Regards,

Paul

Dear all

Following today’s MMF ad hoc  review of the Stressed receiver conformance test diagram which will go into clause 95, here is an updated figure, implementing all the changes we’d agreed to during the call.  The last slide is the crudely edited  diagram we ended up with by the end of the call today, the first slide is the cleaned up version.

 

Please let me know

 

Thank you all for your participation this morning !

Best wishes

jonathan
