3.7.8.7.2.7 Low-Pass Filter
To aid with EMI, this filter attenuates signal components more than 180 MHz. In 1000BASE-T, the
fundamental symbol rate is 125 MHz.
3.7.8.7.2.8 Line Driver
The line driver drives the 4DPAM5 waveforms onto the four twisted-pair channels (A, B, C, D), adding
them onto the waveforms that are simultaneously being received from the link partner.
