RE: [802.3ae_Serial] Issue with 1500 Power
Here is a short power budget the way I see it. For simplicity, let the
ISI & dispersion penalty be 0. All powers in OMA [dB].
The transmitter output power is -1.39 dBm. At the receiver you have
-14.39 dBm. I think the confusing part is the stressed sensitivity.
The stressed sensitivity is measured with an eye having 3 dB eye
closure. In addition to that, there will be a small additional vertical
eye closure due to sinusoidal jitter, which I don't account for here.
With the stressed eye the sensitivity in OMA (measured between the
nominal 1 and 0 levels) is -11.8. If we instead of the stressed eye have
an eye without the 3 dB eye closure, the sensitivity would be
-11.8-3=-14.8 dBm. This would give you roughly 0.4 dB margin.
To make this more accurate, you would have to take the sinusoidal jitter
in the stressed eye into account (--> more margin), as well as some
penalties that could occur in the real link (e.g. interferometric noise
and other known and unknown penalties --> less margin).
Hope this helps,
