Board Design • TX Schematic
Board Design • RX Schematic
Bill of Materials (BOM) * two Tx/Rx can be fabricated on one PCB board, prices based on 10,000 order aside from Maxim chips
Gigabit Ethernet – Loop Back Test • Completed aggressive TxRx by adding SMA connectors • Test setup using XYZ stage • Note excessive fiber length due to VCSEL output
Gigabit Ethernet – Loop Back Test • Looped Tx output into PD on aggressive Rx • 0dB attenuation • Stylish Goggles!
Gigabit Ethernet – Loop Back Test • Scope set to 1 second persistence • 0db attenuation • 2db attenuation
Gigabit Ethernet – Loop Back BER Test • 4db Attenuation BER of 0.2x10-10 • Signal lost at 5dB Attenuation • 0-3dB Attenuation BER of 0.0x10-10 (1 minute)

Conclusion (cont’d) • Though Gbps Ethernet is important, that was not the core concept taught in the class (surprise?). • Learned how actual engineering works and for some it was a first taste in actual hands on experience in professional practice. • Even though this course was not lecture intensive, it is possibly one of the more important classes in ECE… We now understand why.
