Frequency domain analysis of crosstalk in coupled microstrip lines

A method for the analysis of coupled transmission lines in the Fourier transform (frequency domain) is presented. This enables an easy interpretation of results along with means of direct comparison of measurements done in the frequency domain. The results obtained are compared with those obtained through computer simulation carried out in the frequency domain using the SPICE simulation package. Measurements of the forward and backward crosstalk are conducted for various coupled microstrip line parameters and presented for comparison.<
