Calculation of crosstalks in multiple-conductor cables
The rigorous method of calculations of characteristics of two-wire lines (twisted pairs) inside the metal armor and of a mutual coupling between lines is considered. It is shown that the mutual coupling between lines in multiple-conductor cables results in appearance of electromagnetic interferences (crosstalks) in communication channels. The voltages values (interferences) across the impedances placed at the beginning and the end of the adjacent line at the given power in the main line are determined.
NEXT and FEXT models for twisted-pair North American loop plant
Measurements of near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and far-end crosstalk (FEXT) in 26-AWG and 24-AWG polyethylene insulated cable (PIC) twisted pair cables are presented. This data is used to develop crosstalk models that indicate existing T1.417 Standard NEXT and FEXT models are probably conservative by about 5 dB for 25-pair binder groups. However, many cables start from wire centers as pulp cables of 100-pair binder groups. Even if most of these older pulp cables are 26-AWG, prudence dictates that a more conservative model be used for these cases. On a going forward basis for new and rehab construction, it should be recognized that PIC (air core and filled) cables with not larger than 25-pair binder groups are the predominant cable media supplied by manufacturers for feeder and distribution loops. Results for NEXT in 12-pair binders are also analyzed and show that 26-AWG cable has about 2 dB more NEXT loss than 24-AWG cable and 12-pair binders have about 2 dB more NEXT loss than 25-pair binders. In addition, the NEXT loss separation between adjacent binders of 12 and 13 pairs is found to be not more than 10 dB as compared with the more optimistic 15.5 dB assumed within the industry.
Parameters for low energy operation of CESR
We present a detailed design for operation of the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, CESR, in the energy range covering the /spl psi/ resonances and the Charm and Tau thresholds, as well as reaching to the upper Y resonances near 11 GeV. The addition of 18 m of super-ferric wiggler magnets will partially restore low energy beam emittance and damping times. Installation of superconducting quadrupoles in the interaction region and the addition of high performance superconducting RF cavities will enhance performance at all energies. Studies of optics, beam dynamics, wiggler and vacuum system performance, beam stability, and beam-beam effects confirm operation with a luminosity of 3/spl times/ 10/sup 32/ CM/sup -2/ sec/sup -1/ at 1.88 GeV.
