AE6000R Automotive Ethernet Rx Compliance Solution
Receiver testing solution inclusive of automated software and hardware
Starting from
Highlights
AE6900R now includes multigigabit data rates and new software, AE6920R. Order under AE6000R – see configuration information.
Next-generation advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) will use sensors like cameras, radar, and lidar with increasingly high resolutions, requiring a network with faster data throughput and greater bandwidth. The point of receiver testing at the PHY layer is to stress the receiver and validate its operation in the car's noisy environment. Receiver tests ensure the quality of the digital transmission by measuring the receiver’s ability to recover data from an impaired input signal.
Key Capabilities
- Receiver tests verify the BER requirement, SQI, and Alien Crosstalk Noise Rejection required by the Open Alliance and IEEE respectively
- Automated setups ensure result repeatability and enable your team to run tests without becoming an expert on the required procedures
- Reports document the configuration, measurements, pass/fail results, margin analysis, and waveforms
Required instrumentation (see options; it depends on the speed grade you want to test)
- 81160A Pulse Function Arbitrary Noise Generator or M8195A Arbitrary Waveform Generator
- APM1000E or APM 2000E Automotive Ethernet BASET1 to standard Ethernet 1000BASETX media converter
Supported standards
- 100base-T1 – IEEE 802.3bw and Open Alliance TC1 PMA
- 1000base-T1 – IEEE 802.3bp and Open Alliance TC12 PMA
- MultiGbase-T1 -- IEEE 802.3ch and Open Alliance TC15 PMA
Ordering information
- Software AE6910R and AE6920R is orderable as part of the AE6000R solution
- Configuration includes AWG, fixture, adapters, and software; the datasheet contains details.
Unlike CAN, LIN or MOST, the IEEE standard for Automotive Ethernet demands rigorous compliance verification using specific test cases. The requirements include complex measurements that, until recently, have been uncommon in the auto industry: vector network analysis with S-parameters, bit error rate (BER) testing, and protocol analysis of high-speed digital signals.
To help you save time and effort, Keysight offers solutions that automate the testing and validation of Automotive Ethernet devices. These proven applications help you ensure proper test configuration and valid measurement results. Ultimately, you’ll have greater confidence that your device is compliant with the IEEE standard.
