Bringing Reality to 40Gbps Duo-Binary Applications Understanding System Bandwidth 2-20-2008 ARahman,MBroman,MHowieson
Ideal DuoBinary System Bandwidth • Driver Bandwidth=20GHz
Network Bandwidth Approximation • Good for ideal single pole filters only
From 10Gbps to 40Gbps • As the Target Bandwidth approaches the system bandwidth the filter bandwidth goes to infinity
Important Filter Parameters • Enhancing the Bessel filters return loss • Controlling Group Delay • Electrical Length effects
Thin Film Technology to the Rescue • Design • Simulation • Components • Package and footprint normalizing • BGA, Wirebond • Test Bench • CMM’s and Measurement
Case Studies in 40Gbps • L3 Narda Application Measurements
Conclusion • The difficulties in achieving optimum filtering components for duo-binary optical modulation schemes are realized with simulation and design aide from Thin Film Technology Corp.
