Re: [8023-10GEPON] Define TDP values
Dear Dr. Maricondo,
Thank you very much for your explanations, and I apologize for my late reply.
Now, I understand that, in your E-mail, (Dispersion_Penalty+TDP) means
the dispersion penalty value using a realistic transmitter with worst case TDP,
in contrast to that using an ideal or perfect transmitter with small or no TDP.
I am not sure, whether (Dispersion_Penalty), in the Spreadsheet, is figured out
based on such an ideal transmitter or not, but I agree that the result should
indicate the worst case value in order to decide the fail/pass condition.
But I am not sure either, how TDP should be counted into such transmitter parameters
for calculating (Dispersion_Penalty+TDP), in the Spreadsheet, and how big its
impact will be. If you have any suggestions, that will be quite helpful.
If TDP value should be derived from the measurement results, not from Spreadsheet
calculations, some penalty value may remain only assumed and uncalculated,
unless the relationship between the measured TDP and Dispersion_Penalty is justified.
Any comments or discussions will be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Hiroshi Hamano
