Method for prediction of EMI Emissions from Automotive Ethernet to Vehicle Antennas

Abstract. In automotive application new point-to-point (P2P) wideband communication systems e.g. Automotive Ethernet 100BASE-T1 imply an increasing effort in safeguarding its electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The state-of-the-art EMC safeguarding process proposes a pre-compliant system level test before the vehicle level test, which may have significant variation in test results due to the different electromagnetic environment. This work presents an approach to calculate the emission signal at the vehicle antenna from the ECU output signal given by the power spectral density (PSD) of the Automotive Ethernet ECUs. The determination is performed via a transfer function which describes the coupling between the Ethernet wire harness and the antenna. This approach considers the modelling of the complex vehicle environment by the transfer function which promises the determination of an accurate emission signal before performing the vehicle level test. Further, the transfer function for a specifically EMC critical cable harness routing along the cockpit area is analyzed in more detail with a 3D simulation, which validates the chosen measurement technique of the transfer function.
