Use Receiver Testing to Improve Automotive In-Vehicle Network Performance
White Papers
This white paper examines the importance of receiver testing at the physical layer and its role in maintaining data integrity across automotive Ethernet and SerDes networks. It explains how receiver compliance testing evaluates a device’s ability to recover data accurately in the presence of real-world impairments such as Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), crosstalk, insertion loss, jitter, power integrity issues, and environmental noise. Bit Error Rate (BER) is presented as the primary metric for assessing receiver robustness under both ideal and stressed operating conditions.
