Good karma for the Ethernet Receiver

© Copyright 2025 ASTRON

A Blue Eye traditionally holds spiritual meaning—warding off evil and attracting good karma. In our digital lab, however, the blue eye represents something more technical: a strong signal to noise ratio on the 10 Gigabit links of our Ethernet Receiver. The larger the eye, the better the signal integrity.

This Ethernet Receiver prototype, developed for the MID4Automotive project, successfully sustained 10 Gigabits per second of data transmission and reception via the orange optical fiber cable (about 25m) for over 36 hours—with zero bit errors.

Not bad at all for a first prototype. Good karma indeed!
