Abstract

Closed form expressions for the near and far end noise of a coupled 2-line transmission structure with resistive losses have been developed for implementation in coupled noise checking software. Criteria have been defined to quantify the error of these predictors, which is shown through extensive comparisons to simulation results to be quite good over a wide range of transmission line losses. A design curve is also presented and defines the region of validity for these predictors
