Re: [10GBT] Transmit power levels



Joseph,

Are you still proposing 2v peak to peak?

Thanks,

Sanjay,

According to Solarflare's Nov. 2002 tutorial presentation (pg.17) their
proposed launch power is 10-12dBm. During his Jan. 2003 presentation

http://www.ieee802.org/3/10GBT/public/jan03/jones_1_0103.pdf

Bill Jones mentions 9.5 dBm launch power (pg.5). After Jan. 2003 meeting
Bill sent the following e-mail to the reflector and provided detailed
analysis for coming up with their peak-to-peak launch voltage. That is
where I got the 3.134Vpp launch voltage number for Solarflare.

      Subject: [10GBASE-T] clarification on voltage level    All headers

      In response to some questions at last weeks meeting (and to
stimulate some reflector activity), I wanted to clarify the launch
voltage level

      For 10 dBm, ideal PAM10 (random data and PSD ~sinc^2) and 100 ohm
load

      Vrms = sqrt(P*R) = 1 V

      Vpeak = Vrms*sqrt(3*(M-1)/(M+1))  where M is the number of PAM
levels
               = 1.57 V

      Vpp = 2*Vpeak = 3.13 V

      For 9.5 dBm

      Vrms = .944 V

      Vpeak = 1.48 V

      Vpp = 2.96 V

      Note: this is based on an ideal PAM signal, any filtering in the
transmit path will change the PAR and peak voltages.

      regards
      Bill
