Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology is poised to accelerate the development of connected and autonomous vehicles by enabling vehicles to communicate with one another and the surrounding infrastructure to enhance road safety. However, a key hurdle in its evolution involves ensuring V2X systems can operate safely and reliably in environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI). Keysight and the Korea Automotive Technology Institute (KATECH) have collaborated to overcome this hurdle, resulting in a new global standard that establishes a clear framework for manufacturers to ensure their V2X systems can withstand EMI.
Keysight and KATECH joined together to publish the International Standard (ISO/TR 17716:2025) Road vehicles — Electrical disturbances from narrowband radiated electromagnetic energy — Radiated immunity for vehicle-to-everything (V2X). The standard represents a critical milestone in ensuring the reliability and security of V2X components, as the automotive industry expands the development of connected and autonomous vehicles. Collaboration between Keysight and KATECH on the new global standard leverages Keysight's expertise in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing and KATECH’s innovative approach to V2X technology, enhancing the safety and performance of next-generation automotive systems.
Radiated Immunity Testing
V2X technology is a two-way communication method that enables the transmission of information between a host vehicle and any surrounding entity that might affect a vehicle. Radiated immunity is tested to avoid unreasonable degradation of automated driving due to EMI. Conventional standards lack the communication link to verify the immunity of V2X components. Keysight and KATECH conducted extensive testing and validation to develop robust solutions that could withstand high levels of EMI.
“Working closely with KATECH, we are excited to deliver a consistent tool chain for V2X testing solutions that will set new test environments and testing procedures during the automotive immunity test,” said Thomas Goetzl, Vice President and General Manager of Keysight’s Automotive and Energy Solutions, “This partnership underscores our commitment to providing comprehensive testing solutions that meet the stringent requirements of V2X standards, ultimately contributing to safer and more reliable connected vehicles.”
The new global testing standard will enable manufacturers to rigorously evaluate the electromagnetic resilience of V2X components, ensuring they can withstand various environmental conditions and electromagnetic interference. This is crucial to maintaining the integrity of communication between vehicles and infrastructure and is essential for the safe operation of connected and autonomous vehicles.
“The link communication connection and V2X scenario simulation are considered to make the V2X functions, and their communications operate normally during the automotive immunity testing. In this regard, Keysight's solutions are very useful in the V2X and EMC testing fields,” said Hyok Lee, Executive Principal Researcher at KATECH. “We are confident that this partnership will drive significant advancements in the automotive industry, ensuring the highest standards of safety and performance.”
