Communication analysis in CAN networks under EFT injection

This paper describes a study about the impact of electrical fast transients (EFT) on performance of communication protocols. A method of fast transient injection is applied in an experimental CAN network with the objective of verifying an impact on jitter and how it influences the communication process. An experiment was conducted in laboratory with a model of typical CAN network configuration with three nodes to verify the time delays. As result, was verified that EFT increases peak delay between data control cycles and can effectively influence and generated faults in communication process.
