Validity ranges of crosstalk models

Abstract

Crosstalk models, used for the estimation of near and far end crosstalk voltages between two parallel transmission lines, are evaluated. The quantitative validity ranges, in terms of transmission line length and coupling coefficient, of crosstalk models are presented. It is shown that the accuracy of the commonly used crosstalk models deteriorates as the increase of coupling coefficient and line length. A new crosstalk model with improved accuracy is proposed and evaluated.
