Re: [802.3_B400G] FYI: Proposal to specify a control for skew in IEEE P802.3dj 2.0



Hi Richard,

In the attached proposal regarding using SCMR_CH (for the channel) to control skew and other imbalances, I noticed that only SCD21 is mentioned. Would the proposal include computing SCMR_CH using SDC21 as well?

Below is my reasoning behind this question.
  1. - Equation 178-1 in D2P0.
    - D2p0 mentions VCM_FB as the full-band peak-to-peak AC common-mode voltage defined by the method specified in 179.9.4.1 and measured with the transmitter equalization set to “no Equalization”.

  2. TP0 to TP5- Channel mode conversion insertion loss.

  3. Differential insertion loss is reciprocal, but mode-conversion is not reciprocal in the conventional sense.
    - Assuming the throughs are (1)---(2) and (3)---(4).
    -Differential insertion loss is reciprocal, meaning SDD21 ≈ SDD12.
    1. SDD12= 0.5*(S12 - S32+ S34- S14).
  4. - Mode conversion terms are not strictly reciprocal:
    1. SCD21 ≈ SDC12 and SCD12 ≈ SDC21.
  5. - However, SCD21 ≠ SCD12, as shown in the following equations:
    1. SCD12 = 0.5*(S21 + S32 - S14 - S34).
    1. SDC21 = 0.5*(S12 + S23 -S41 -S43).
    1. SDC12 = 0.5*(S12 - S32 + S14 - S34).

CAUTION: EXTERNAL EMAIL

Hi All,

The has been presented some this before.  This this attached is a proposal for using SCMR_CH (for the channel) to control skew and other imbalances. The first half,  SCMR and V_CM was controlled in the transmitters. This proposal it to complete the process for the channels.

Comments? Thoughts?

Regards,
