Alphawave’s CTO, Tony Chan Carusone, continues his technical talks on high-speed communications discussing the limits of link performance due to the impact of transceiver impairments caused by distortion, ISI, Jitter, quantization, noise, nonlinearities, and passband ripple. 200G signal integrity depends heavily on packaging and is often reflection-dominated and can be seen by varying the package trace length. Industry expected target bit error rates (BER) can be achieved with extensive DSP as shown.
