Re: [10GMMF] Dynamic test (was: TP3 3-impulse test proposa)l



Jonathan,

I fully agree with your observations from the lab (moving the fiber
several centimeters etc.) and the fact that building vibrations will
only lead to minor movements of fiber.

My comments are, however, a reflection of slide 11 of the TP3
presentation sent out on the reflector on Sep. 17th by Ben Willcocks
which suggests that we should use a dynamic test that shifts from
post-cursor to pre-cursor at 1 KHz. I believe that this is not
reproducing any real-life scenario and could be too stressful to the EDC
solution.

For a given installed fiber, I believe that two things can happen to the
fiber/connector in a link:

1) The fiber undergoes vibrations due to building movements.
2) The fiber is moved (bend or twisted) by personnel during installation
of other hardware, daily cleaning etc.

My comment is related to 2) which can cause (in line with your
observations in the lab) large changes in the channel impulse response.
I don't know the nature of such changes but believe they can be large
but with a longer time scale than vibrations (how fast can you move a
fiber by hand). I believe that it is vital to study these nature of such
large changes and ensure that any dynamic test covers the 2) case.

I'm looking forward to the report out from the Task 2 to understand more
about the physical behavior of the channel.

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin

I have a comment on the TP3 dynamic response test.

I expect that the TP3 dynamic test will need to be significantly below
1kHz rate if it is to be realistic.

Task 2 is actively studying time variation effects, and is basing tests
on GR-63-CORE which is an existing standard describing appropriate
operational testing for in building environments.  It describes
vibration testing from 5Hz to 100Hz, with constant acceleration stimulus
(0.1g and 1g accelerations). For constant acceleration, the amplitude of
vibration decreases with the square of the frequency, for example:

At 5Hz and 1g acceleration, vibration amplitude is 2 cm peak to peak,
comparable to a rather fast fibre shaker as described in
TIA/EIA-455-203;
At 50Hz and 1g acceleration, vibration amplitude is 0.2 millimetres peak
to peak;
At 500Hz and 1g acceleration, vibration amplitude is 2 microns peak to
peak;

I think its common experience in the laboratory that large changes in
IPR occur only when a fibre coil is distorted by several centimetres,
with relatively insignificant changes in IPR at displacements much below
1mm.
I expect this will place an upper bound on the test frequency in the
~10Hz range

best wishes

 Jonathan

All,



A)
From a practical implementation point of view, it makes a lot of sense
to limit the number of 'taps' to a minimum (three so far). As pointed
out by Lew, I'm also concerned that the limited time span of the
stressor (2xdT=200 ps) will not be a good emulation of real life channel
impulse responses even that the PIE are alike.

Many we should consider to have two tests with different dT(?). It
could, e.g., be implemented with 5 taps total.

B) Comments on the dynamic test: The biggest problem for real EDC
solutions may not be to handle the ~KHz variation (1 KHz has been
suggested) but more the problem of been able to handle the variety of
channel responses and make the transition from one response 'A' to
another channel response 'B' without causing errors.

The question is if we can imagine that any given Cambridge channel
response may be followed by any other arbitrary Cambridge Channel
response due to vibration of the fiber and/or connectors. If the answer
is 'no' then the suggested dynamic test of going from a state with
completely pre-cursor only to a new state with completely post-cursor
only may be a too stressful test that may lead to a non-desirable
trade-offs for the implementation.

Regards,
Martin

I think this is very close to where we want to be for the dynamic
penalty test, and I see no reason why the three impulse response
functions can't be aligned with those used for the static test.  A
number of different comments:

1) We should do this calculation (and all similar calculations) for 300m
as well as 220m.

2) It is interesting to come up with 1.0 UI for the dT.  In a way that
is good in that I know that many consider that a pretty demanding case,
so if it makes sense with the fiber model and EDC makers consider it
realistic to pass, than on that basis it might be a good choice.

3) I am concerned about deriving the details of the impulse response
parameters solely from PIE metrics.  The reason is that PIE is for an
infinite ideal equalizer.  As such, it's sensitivity to the total time
span of the impulse response is presumably a lot flatter (and more
non-monotonic) than is the performance of a real finite equalizer.  I
think we see this in that the final choice in the values was not
terribly sensitivie to dT and was chosen to get a close fit on the PIE
value for the -D and -L cases simulataneously.

Thus, we risk coming up with a choice which is too short (compared to
actual fiber response) to adequately stress a real implementation, or
vice versa.  Even worse, our choice is likely to drive the design
tradeoffs of the EDC's used and thus should really match the dT spands
from the fiber models.

I would suggest that, at least in the case of the dT choice, that the
fiber models and Petre's work be used to determine the approximate
choice, and that we live with a larger difference in PIE-L and PIE-D
that results.

4) With that said, I think the idea of having the same dT and the
pre-cursor and post cursor symmetric to each other is probably a great
goal for the static test as well and would then naturally align the
static and dynamic tests. [This would not change my thinking on the fact
that the static and dynamic tests should be seperate, I would still have
many reasons to want that]. Petre's work so far has emphasized the
goodness of fit to particular fiber examples.  In the end, I think we
just want to have something of the same general shape chosen to
represent the 99% point by a combination of PIE value and represnetative
dT values, and to use that extra freedom to have equal dT's between
pulses and cases if at all possible.

Thus, I would say that we want to wind up with something of the form Ben
has given us, but with the dT and perhaps a value motivated more by
Petre's work than by the most exact fit to PIE numbers.

Further to the preliminary data I presented in the phone conference of 7
September, I have attached slides showing our TP3 3-impulse test
proposal & simulation results.  Many thanks to Sudeep Bhoja for his
assistance regarding the PIE calculations.

With Mike's permission, I would like to talk through this during next
Tuesday's TP3 conference call.

Regards,

Ben
