Abstract :
The interferometric noise penalty in 10 Gbit/s Ethernet LAN links is assessed as a function of receiver and transmitter reflection coefficients and other link parameters. Robust link operation was experimentally observed and theoretically confirmed with 12 dB return loss for both the receiver and transmitter, and 4 dB extinction ratio.
