With the demand for receiver verification of high-speed automotive Ethernet rising due to the transition to SDV (Software Defined Vehicle) and increased in-vehicle data throughput, Keysight Technologies has unveiled two receiver compliance test solutions covering bands from 10BASE-T1S to 10GBASE-T1.

Keysight Technologies announced on the 30th that it presented and demonstrated the 10BASE-T1S receiver test solution and the nGBASE-AU optical automotive Ethernet test solution, respectively, at the Automotive Ethernet Congress (AEC) held in Germany.

The two solutions were designed to meet the bandwidth, EMI immunity, and long-range communication requirements of next-generation automotive platforms based on Zone Architecture.

The 10BASE-T1S receiver test solution was developed in collaboration with BitifEye Digital Test Solutions GmbH.

Includes software that automates compliance verification of a physical layer (PHY) receiver in accordance with the OPEN Alliance TC14 PMA Test Suite 5.2.1 standard.

Bit Error Rate (BER) can be measured in environments with channel impairment and coupled noise by utilizing the new Media Converter, Ringing Board, and MDI Adapter.

The company explained that it also supports multi-drop network testing capabilities, which can be used to verify the performance and stability of scalable zone architectures.

The nGBASE-AU optical physical layer testbed complies with IEEE 802.3cz Amendment 7 (2023) and Open Alliance TC7 test house specifications.

Signal quality is evaluated using the TDFOM measurement suite, which includes TDFOM OMA, ER, AOP, and OAR items.

The supported oscilloscopes are the Keysight DCA-M N1092A and N1092C, and it provides clock recovery functionality via the N1077B.

It supports both standard compliance testing and developer test configurations through a FlexDCA-based automation interface.

Thomas Goetzl, Vice President and General Manager of Keysight’s Automotive and Energy Solutions business unit, said, “As vehicle architectures evolve to be software-centric and data throughput increases, the importance of resilient, high-speed Ethernet communication is growing. These solutions will serve as tools to support the automotive industry in achieving standards-compliant performance.”
