Re: [10GBT] Request for Cat6 Emissions Characteristics
Jose,
It turns out that when you take into account the analog filtering and do an
accurate calculation of the PSD/"EMI PSD", neither PAM8 nor PAM12 has an
advantage in terms of EMI. I'm attaching the PDF ouput and the matlab code
to generate the PSDs using both Ungerboeck's analog filter construction (3rd
order BW LPF at fs/4) and using the (0.75+0.25D) approach used in our July
presentation (with 5th order BW LPF at fs/2). In both cases, the peaks for
the so-called "EMI PSD"s are within 0.01dB of each other for PAM8 and PAM12.
Regards,
Sailesh Rao.
