Reduction of far-end crosstalk on coupled microstrip PCB interconnects

Abstract

Crosstalk among interconnects and PCB traces is a major limiting of signal quality in highspeed digital equipment. The paper evaluates a possible way of far-end crosstalk reduction with a special geometry of traces. This paper shows that increasing capacitive coupling along coupled surface microstrip traces may be used to reduce far-end crosstalk.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
