Characterization of equalized 10-Gb/s multimode fibre LAN links using transverse 7-tap analog FIR filter in 0.13-μm CMOS

Abstract

BER and ISI measurements of over 600 equalized 300-m long 10-Gb/s MMF links using a 7-tap analogue-FIR filter show offset launch is preferred for OM1 fibres, while centre launch is preferred for OM3 fibres.
