"This technical report is first in a series aimed at establishing a common methodology for FC system signal modeling. Using this methodology@ FC systems may be modeled and simulated accurately and consistently. These methodologies may also apply to other transports that use high speed serial communication schemes. This technical report establishes the framework for the exchange of signal performance information between component suppliers@ system integrators@ and those carrying-out simulations. This report defines the acceptable methods for extracting the electrical and signal performance attributes of the constituent parts of a FC transmitter - receiver connection within a link. It shall be used in conjunction with the requirements within the following documents: FC Physical Interface (FC-PI; T11/1235-D)@ FC Physical Interface-2 (FC-PI-2; T11/1506-D)@ and FC 10 Gigabit (10GFC; T11/ 1413-D). The objectives of the FC Signal Modeling (FCSM) Technical report series are to: a) define a set of elemental components for FCSM purposes *@ b) define a set of composite components for FCSM purposes *@ c) define the physical interface boundaries of the component sets *@ d) define the modeling parameters of the component sets@ e) define a methodology for integrating the component models into a system model@ f) define a system simulation strategy@ g) define the major points of interest for signal modeling * h) define the classes of signal modeling purposes and uses * i) define the properties of signals used for specification compliance at FC interoperability points@ j) define the general use of scaling in modeling * k) define general methods for creating models * l) define the general validation and correlation methods * m) define the relationship between constituents of the modeling environment * n) define the methodology for translating between physical measurements and necessary modeling parameters@ o) define a method for the exchange of information between component suppliers and system integrators. Items with a ""*"" are directly addressed in this document. Other items are intended to be addressed in future documents."
