Re: [802.3_100GEL] Follow-up on SNDR/SNR_TX presentation from the January 12 interim teleconference



Anand, to your questions:

 

#1 – when c(0) is lower than 1 and is fixed, changing pre/post (c(-1) or c(+1)) may have an effect on the pulse peak. Since these are negative or zero, the pulse peak can only be reduced further, but the effect depends on the channel’s pulse response. For simplicity I suggest not to account for this effect, at least at this time and just look at the reduction of the pulse peak. This will be similar to the case of just reducing the swing (keeping pre/post zero or close to zero) and simple to analyze.

 

#2 – the calculation of COM in past analysis has showed SNDR is often a bottleneck in borderline high-loss channels. It is true that in low-loss channels there is more margin, and c(0) can be reduced (effectively degrading the SNDR) without failing COM; but for high loss channels c(0) still needs to be reduced for equalization purposes – we can’t assume c(0)=1. The correction of the sigma_tx term assumes this reduction will be to 0.6, so SNDR is degraded by ~4.4 dB; if it’s 32.5 with c(0)=1 it will become 28.1 dB. This will have a big effect on COM.

 

#3 – I did not propose to use c(0) in the SNDR measurement (although it is possible, if the measurement is done with c(0)!=0, as suggested in the meeting; c(0) is measurable). I’m proposing to use it in the channel specification (COM) where it is available as the result of the equalizer optimization.

 

If measurement of SNDR is done with c(0) smaller than 1, the measured SNDR should be adjusted by -20*log10(c(0)) (it will be increased).

 

A related point made in the meeting was that reducing the swing will improve transmitter linearity and reduce distortion. This may be true , but again, reducing the swing is not likely in high-loss channels – instead, the reduction of c(0) is to allow higher absolute values for other coefficients. At the transmitter, the maximum values will still be reached, so we should not assume better linearity.

I am getting feedback on several threads in parallel, so I thought it would be best to move this discussion to the reflector.

No problem and Thank you Beth for starting the thread.

 

Hi Adee,

 

First of all Thank you for bringing this topic and efforts for real good data.

 

As discussed in the meeting I would like to understand few things regarding SNDR proposal.

 

  1. When C0 is not equal to 1
    1. Case 1 -> adding pre or post cursors. Here the C0 is lower than 1. Does the equation hold here?
    2. Case 2 -> Reducing the swing by lowering C0 and other taps are 0. Is this the case intended?
    3. If case 1 does not need the equation then we might have to consider sum of all Coefficients
  2. Do we need a SNDR of 36.6dB?
    1. C0 goes lower than 1 as in case 2(above) would be mostly for a short channel or a low loss channel. Here do we need a high SNDR?
    2. I believe the spec of 32.5dB what we have now holds good at C0=1
    3. When the C0 goes down and if thereby SNDR drops then the SNDR can be normalized back to C0. I also believe measurement needed change and not the design.
  3. How to measure C0
    1. The measurement becomes little complicated here. Always we have to do relative measurement where we need to first measure with C0=1 and then with intended C0 value to find out the C0 value. Is there any other way?

 

Regards,

Anand RK

Hey Anand –

Thanks for your questions, sorry we had to push them offline, but we need to move on.  Hopefully Adee can answer those questions here instead.
