    This document describes testing performed by Zwickau University of Applied Sciences (FTZ) to qualify Ethernet physical layers for automotive applications. FTZ has developed lab bench tests for emissions and immunity that show excellent correlation with classic stripline chamber tests but at a lower cost. Their RF test board and dummy ECU board methodology tests PHY transceivers for radiated emissions and direct power injection immunity, simulating worse case unbalanced conditions. Results from the FTZ lab tests and stripine chamber tests on the same hardware are presented, with PHY components shown to pass emissions limits and bulk current immunity levels required by automotive standards.

    Introduction

    • Overview of the work Zwickau University of


    Applied Sciences (FTZ) have performed to aid
    the qualification of Ethernet Physical Layer for
    Automotive applications
    • We feel that these test methods will be useful
    information for the RTPGE Study Group
    Introduction to FTZ
    • Expert knowledge of EMC test methodology
    • Vast experience in Automotive EMC qualifications
    • Commissioned by the German OEM car makers to
    develop lab bench EMC test methods
    • Reduces the high cost & limited availability of stripline testing
    facilities
    • Through extensive testing (since 2008), excellent
    correlation has been shown between FTZ test
    setup and classic stripline tests
    • The FTZ testing is now the preferred 1st step before
    strip line testing is performed in Europe
    • Similar to UNH IOL
    Note – Any test results in this presentation have been performed by FTZ

    methods
    • Testing performed on lab bench and not EMC Chamber
    • Extremely useful during pre-qualification /
    selection of Ethernet PHY Layer components
