Crosstalk analysis and optimization of high-speed interconnections

Crosstalk noise has become a major performance inhibitor in high speed digital system. This is especially the case in package designs, connector assemblies and circuit interconnects designs. With the simultaneous miniaturization of electronic systems and decreasing signal rise time, it is important to be able to predict major sources of crosstalk and to stay within the cross-talk budget for high-speed interconnects interfaces. In this paper, first, we focus on analyzing the crosstalk mechanism. Second, based on simulation, we propose methods to minimize crosstalk.
