Noise in Traffic: Signal Emulation for Automotive Apps

Asymmetric, multi-gigabit signaling between automotive sensors, processors, and displays in the unique noise environments of both electric and internal combustion engine vehicles creates new problems for signal and power integrity engineers. This paper introduces the signal impairments required for receiver testing in emerging automotive standards like ASA, MIPI's A-PHY, automotive Ethernet, and more. Given that standards specify different sources of noise in different ways, this paper focuses on techniques for generating and calibrating each noise source while describing advanced de-embedding techniques and addressing test equipment limitations.

Automotive Ethernet

Ethernet is fast emerging as that single shared medium as recent technology developments make Ethernet viable for use in cars. The Ethernet used in automobiles has different electrical requirements (EMI/RFI emissions and susceptibility) and is known as Automotive Ethernet. Automotive Ethernet is not only for the “luxury” car market trends indicate that a significant majority of car manufacturers are planning to move to Ethernet for all classes of cars. This Black Book includes functionality and impairment methodologies that can be used to verify device and system functionality and performance. The methodologies are universally applicable to any test equipment. Step-by-step implementation examples using Ixia's test platforms and applications are included to demonstrate the art of the possible.
