Automotive Ethernet Compliance: Tests in Detail (Part III)

Figure 1: This depicts the setup for the Automotive
Ethernet transmitter distortion test

Among the compliance tests specified for Automotive Ethernet in the 100Base-T1 spec, none is more complex to set up than the test for transmitter distortion. As with the transmitter timing slave jitter test described in an earlier post, it requires access to the DUT's transmit clock (TX_TCLK).
