Rhode & Schwarz has collaborated with Autotalks to verify the performance of its third-generation vehicle-to-everything (V2X) chipset. TEKTON3 and SECTON3 were verified using the latest 5G-V2X capability of the R&S CMP180 radio communication tester. Rohde & Schwarz and Autotalks are working together to ensure the correct operation of 5G-V2X. This will enable them to provide the entire ecosystem with next generation V2X technology, an important step for enhancing vehicle communications and realising the safety and efficiency benefits of autonomous driving.
The R&S CMP180 radio communication test platform is a non-signalling solution for wireless devices supporting cellular and non-cellular technologies. Recently, Rohde & Schwarz added the 5G-V2X test capability to R&S CMP180, enabling testing of the complete range of V2X technologies supported by Autotalks’ chipset using a single instrument. The single-box tester is equipped with two analysers, two generators and 2×8 radio frequency (RF) ports, as well as the possibility to scale up by stacking several testers. This makes it an ideal solution for simultaneous measurement of various technologies and devices in research and development (R&D) and mass production, enabling customers to simultaneously test all three V2X sidelink standards with the
R&S CMP180.
In addition, Autotalks’ chipsets, TEKTON3 and SECTON3, are the first to support all four V2X sidelink communication standards: long term evolution (LTE)-V2X, IEEE 802.11p (DSRC), the new 5G-V2X and 802.11bd. These chipsets not only support 5G-V2X operation, but also allow concurrent operation with other radio technologies. This enables the integration of 5G-V2X while maintaining the installed base on legacy technology.
