Rohde & Schwarz offers extended test capabilities for GMSL(TM)-based solutions

12/25/2024

Rohde & Schwarz now incorporated the ability to perform Physical Medium Attachment (PMA) tests in accordance with GMSL requirements. The solution is fully integrated into the Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscope firmware and offers an extensive range of signal integrity tools. These tools include LiveEye, which allows for real-time monitoring of signal behaviour, and advanced jitter and noise analysis. Additionally, it includes built-in eye masks for forward and reverse channels.

To verify narrowband crosstalk, the solution includes a powerful built-in spectrum analysis on the R&S RTP oscilloscope. Furthermore, cable, connector, and channel characterization can be performed using vector network analyzers provided by Rohde & Schwarz.

GMSL technology is increasingly becoming a fundamental element in automotive applications, including safety, monitoring, infotainment, and autonomy, owing to its ability to reliably transport high-resolution digital video for camera and display-based applications.

Balagopal Mayampurath, Vice President of ADI’s GMSL Technology Group said, “It is significant that GMSL is adopted by several OEMs and Tier-1s, making it a de facto video connectivity standard in the automotive industry. The tests from Rohde & Schwarz expedite the process for customers to build and deliver GMSL-based solutions and they are critical in supporting the automotive ecosystem.”

The application will be demonstrated at CES 2025 in Las Vegas from January 7 to 10, 2024, at booth 3366 in the West Hall.
