Automotive Ethernet compliance testing | Rohde & Schwarz [Video]

New automotive applications, such as high-powered entertainment systems, are driving up bandwidth requirements and the costs associated with cabling and network interfaces. Automotive Ethernet was designed to meet industry needs: advanced driver assistance systems demand higher data throughput for camera systems and low latency for adaptive cruise control. Automotive ethernet enables fast and cost-effective data communications by connecting automotive bus systems (in-vehicle components). This minimizes cabling, lowering fuel consumption, manufacturing costs and time to market.

Your challenges and the OPEN Alliance

The automotive industry has specified the OPEN Alliance BroadR-Reach® (OABR) physical layer, also known as IEEE 100BASE-T1, as the automotive Ethernet communications standard. It runs on standard FlexRay™ cabling and facilitates high-speed communications such as audio or video streaming. 100Base-T1 uses full duplex communications so that up to 1 Gbit/s can be transferred over one twisted pair. For interface verification, a 100BASE-T1 conformance test with six test cases is required. Like most IEEE Ethernet compliance …
