Keysight teams for custom noise injection in MultiGBASE-T1 test system
Keysight Technologies has worked with a test provider in Germany to expand its Automotive Ethernet Receiver Compliance test with support for MultiGBASE-T1 data rates.
The Receiver Test compliance software for Automotive Ethernet MultiGBASE-T1 includes a custom Noise Injection Fixture to support the next technology wave for automotive in-vehicle networks.
The system was developed with BitifEye in Germany and US test adapter maker Wilder Technologies in Vancouver, Washington.
Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) need high-resolution camera and radar systems with increased data rates and high-bandwidth networking capabilities in the vehicle’s backplane. The IEEE 802.3ch and Open Alliance TC15 standards address this demand for the software-defined vehicles (SDV) of the future.
The expanded test system with the custom noise injection fixture improves device and system validation and provides new test automation tools for testing receivers for advancing SDV zonal architectures.
The test system provides the hardware, software, cables, and accessories needed for compliance and design characterisation testing for these next-generation devices. This helps engineers stress-test and validate receiver performance in harsh automotive environments and verifies IEEE 802.3ch, Open Alliance TC15 standards.
The test framework automatically executes Ethernet PHY tests for receiver compliance while the custom test fixture couples the noise to an active link to stress the receiver. The Keysight arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) generates the noise profiles for accurate and repeatable measurements.
“We are excited to collaborate with Keysight to deliver a new way for the industry to validate receiver devices utilising IEEE 802.3. Our customers will benefit from testing solutions that enable device makers of new automotive in-vehicle networks, either standardised or accepted, to become global standards for automotive high-speed data transmission,” said Julien Henaut, Chief Technology Officer at BitifEye Digital Test Solutions.
