Discover our complete suite of automotive Ultra Wideband testing solutions including compliance with FiRa and Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC) standards.

As DisplayPort evolves to support ultra-high resolutions and increased data rates, robust compliance testing is essential to ensure interoperability across devices and interconnects. This application note provides a structured overview of physical-layer testing for DisplayPort source transmitters and passive cables, aligned with VESA CTS v2.1. The note covers key test procedures using Rohde & Schwarz solutions, including oscilloscope-based measurement at standardized test points, automated test execution with ScopeSuite, and signal integrity debug via equalization and jitter decomposition. It further details cable characterization using mixed-mode S-parameter analysis on a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA), with support for simulated eye diagrams and TDR-based impedance diagnostics. Practical setup examples and product references are provided to help engineers perform repeatable, standards-compliant DisplayPort PHY validation.

MIPI D-PHY is a low-power, cost-effective physical layer interface, essential in mobile devices and advanced technology systems. It's a high-speed, source-synchronous interface used in smartphone cameras, smartwatch displays, drones, in-car entertainment, automobile cameras, and radar sensors. This application note explores MIPI D-PHY's features, functionality, and testing practices for device compliance, addressing common issues. It highlights Rohde & Schwarz's equipment for ensuring compatibility and solving issues with MIPI D-PHY, aligned with MIPI D-PHY specification version 2.5.Developed by the MIPI Alliance, D-PHY connects cameras and displays to a host processor via CSI-2 or DSI protocols. It features a master-slave, asymmetrical design for reduced link complexity. Key aspects include a unidirectional clock, optional data signal directions, different data rates for half-duplex operation, point-to-point communication, and high-speed (HS) and low-power (LP) modes for data transfer and battery preservation. In HS mode, D-PHY uses differential signaling with specific impedance, while in LP mode, it operates in a single-ended manner with high impedance termination.The application note from Rohde & Schwarz provides insights into characterizing and debugging MIPI D-PHY, offering conformance verification with MIPI Alliance standards and protocol decoding options.
