This example demonstrates the application of electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) in a multimode link. Upgrade of existing Ethernet links from 1 to 10 Gb/s with keeping the 300-m transmission reach faces the challenge of overcoming performance degradation due to the higher modal dispersion penalties. One of the solutions for this problem is being implemented in IEEE standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet 10GBASE-LRM [1] and is based on applying electronic dispersion compensation to the signal at the receiver. The link configuration under study is:
