When the specialist test fixture is combined with the powerful and accurate R&S ZNB vector network analyser, the reference instrument for Automotive Ethernet testing, the industry has an optimal solution to ensure OPEN Alliance TC9 compliance. Allion Labs design expertise allows users to save time on fixture development and significantly shorten the time to market.

This universal test platform for automated simulation and testing combines different physical layer technologies on the hardware side with industry-proven software tools for full.

Using the new Signal Separation software, automotive engineers can now perform Automotive Ethernet testing without disrupting the ECU system or cutting the Ethernet. Hear about testing challenges and solutions for in-vehicle network communications based on Automotive ComTT, including related use cases and test methodologies.

Test fixtures are an essential part of the testing process since signal integrity largely determines the quality of Automotive Ethernet TC9 UTP cables. Two new software packages are said to greatly simplify Automotive Ethernet testing, debug and Protocol Decode for use with 5 and 6 Series Tektronix mixed signal oscilloscopes (MSO). Together we will become trusted measurement partners and provide the best service to the Automotive Ethernet market.” “Rohde & Schwarz’s and Allion's commitment to rigorous testing is evident in this partnership. We have assisted global automobile manufacturers and suppliers, such as BMW, Audi and Bosch, with the development. Allion's capabilities in Automotive Ethernet testing have thereby been elevated significantly," said Allion CTO Brian Shih. Technica Engineering is headquartered in Munich, Germany, and it has branches, distributors and partners in 5 continents all over the world.At Technica Engineering, we have been developing Automotive Ethernet solutions and complex Electronic Control Units (ECUs) testing since 2008. “Rohde & Schwarz has always been an important industry partner for Allion and we are honoured to integrate their vector network analyser in our testing procedures. The combination of the R&S ZNB vector network analyser from Rohde & Schwarz together with the Allion AET21064 customised cable fixture and a conductive drum provide cable and connector suppliers with an integrated solution to fully certify automotive Ethernet cables and connector tests in accordance with the OPEN Alliance TC9 standard. These standards ensure compliance with link segment requirements of the IEEE 802.3 Automotive Ethernet at various speed levels up to 10GBASE-T1 and they describe a mandatory test procedure for all cables & connector manufacturers producing products for Automotive Ethernet. OPEN Alliance, the global standard-setter for Automotive Ethernet, specifies the electrical requirements and test procedures for cables and connectors through the technical committee TC9.

Automotive Ethernet is a key enabler for high data rate applications, as well as for data backbone, connecting different domain controllers.
