Electromagnetic Analysis of Crosstalk in Electronic Digital Modules

Abstract

The need for speed and capacity had drawn electronic industry into a race for higher operating frequency. As a result, the dimensions of circuits and the lengths of the connections have become comparable with the wavelengths. As such the transmission line effect must be taken into consideration in the designing process. The paper analyzes one major phenomenon which affects the performances of electronic equipment, namely the crosstalk between two transmission lines which transfer data or control information between two parts of an electronic digital module.
