100GBASE-SR10 Questions to be addressed:

1. What is the title of your transmission system? 2. Is it a standard? If so, what type of standard? Who has issued the standard? Is it publicly available? If so, you should provide a URL to the actual standard document. What year was it released? Are there multiple versions? If so, you should provide a table with details.

3. What type of channel is it to be used with? What is the maximum recommended distance over which the channel can operate without some form of signal conditioning? 4. What type of modulation is used in the system? Describe this briefly and provide a constellation diagram (if appropriate).

5. What is the analogue bandwidth required by a user of this system? If there is more than one mode, you should provide a table with details.

7. What is the maximum power or energy that is used by your system? Can you characterize your system by the amount of energy per bit? You may need to make some assumptions to calculate this. State your assumptions and show your working. Importantly, you must identify what is the dominant form of noise in your system and how do you know this?

8. Plot your system's operating point on the bandwidth efficiency plane. If your system operates within a certain range, plot the best and worst case conditions. You should show all working clearly identifying how you arrived at your data points. Assessment Criteria:

1. Have all questions (1 to 8) been addressed satisfactorily? (40%) 2. Is the information provided relevant, accurate and concise? Have calculations and results been verified?
