A new Automotive Ethernet test methodology allows users to characterize signals with greater accuracy and in less time without the additional expense and measurement challenges. This application note compares the current directional coupler insertion method and new Tektronix Signal Separation method, showing advantages of the Tektronix Signal Separation solution. These advantages include accurate visibility of the true signal versus the directional coupler signal, simplified test set-up at the component and system level, and reduced test time supporting full life-cycle automotive testing needs.
