[802.3ae_Serial] D4.3 ballot comments
I have only two comments that I think are worth changing the draft for at this stage.
On page 483 by adding things about decision sampling into the description of the reference receiver we may have implied that it may contain a limiting amplifier and retimer. While this would be OK for 1300 and 1550 nm. It won't work prior to the transversal filter for 850nm.
Suggested solution. On line 18 change to "For 10GBASE _S the reference receiver must be linear and is followed by a transversal ......". Limiting amplifiers and retimers are assumed to be part of the BERT.
On page 499 in the footnote to Table 52-25 in draft 4.2 there was an editors note to remove the sentence "TIA...... is presently in ballot". draft 4.3 removed the editors note, but didn't remove the sentence.
Suggested solution. Remove the sentence.
