Case Study: Continental AG achieves 100% performance targets and 30% faster test development with Keysight's Automotive Ethernet compliance solutions

Putting the Future in Motion with Automotive Ethernet

Continental AG’s Interior division faced the challenge of designing and validating next‑generation in‑vehicle networks that use high‑speed Automotive Ethernet (100BASE‑T1 and 1000BASE‑T1) while meeting stringent IEEE compliance and near‑zero failure goals within limited R&D and production test time. To address this, Continental turned to Keysight, leveraging Keysight’s automotive‑Ethernet expertise and test products to handle the sensitivity and complexity of high‑speed digital signals.

Keysight delivered an automated, application‑specific test solution—centered on the Infiniium S‑Series MSO and Keysight applications N6467B, N8847A and E6960A with a customized switch‑matrix integration and protocol‑level decoding. The Keysight system automated compliance tests, provided margin analysis and deep protocol/physical‑layer debug, enabling Continental to hit 100% of design performance targets and cut overall test development time by about 30%.
