Hi Wei and Vinu=3A

   Thank you for your kindly reply =3BMay be my question can be simplifie=
d as =3AWhy the Figure 47-6 appears that the greater loss=2Cor  the the m=
ore
negative=2C than the limit line is better=3F

   We also found a document named =27XAUI Electrical Test Suite V1=2E1=27=
 from http=3A//www=2Eiol=2Eunh=2Eedu/consortiums/10gec=3BThe setction 47=2E=
B=2E3 (Page 22) =

talk about this problem too=2EIt explains that the intent of this figure =
was to provide a baseline value for the expected =27worst case=27channel=2C=
the =

limit line can be get by physically measuring the performance of a range =
of real =2Cactual interconnects ranging in length from 46 to 56cm=2Cand =

taking the median of the observed data=2EChannels with greater loss are a=
dditionally considered valid for the purpose of comformance testing=2E
  =

   For example=3AS21(Limit)=3D-11=2E4dB(Pout/Pin=3D10=5E(-11=2E4/10)=3D0=2E=
0724) at 3=2E125GHz=2C A valid sample S21=3D-12=2E4dB(Pout/Pin=3D10=5E(-1=
2=2E4/10)=3D0=2E0575) at 3=2E125GHz

  That was what confused me =3AThe more loss =2Cthe  better=2E =


Thanks and Regards=2C
