A generalized equivalent cable bundle method for modeling crosstalk of complex cable bundles with multiple excitations

A generalized equivalent cable bundle method for modeling crosstalk of complex cable bundle with each cable excited by a signal source at one end and terminated in arbitrary load at the other end is presented in this paper. As far as this method is concerned, a modified four-step procedure is established to define the electrical and geometrical characteristics of the reduced cable bundle. Numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate the viability and effectiveness of this method.
