Simulation of lossy multiconductor transmission lines and application of an algorithm to reduce crosstalk

Abstract

In a multiconductor transmission lines (MTL) of N+1 conductors it is possible to transmit N independent signals and the reason most applications use less signals is the huge crosstalk and return loss that arises when transmitting so many signals. In a previous work we developed an algorithm for transmitting the maximum number of possible signals without crosstalk or return loss, for lossless lines. The current work simulates and analyzes lossy MTL and tests the above algorithm on lossy lines.

Analysis of lossy multiconductor transmission lines and application of a crosstalk cancelling algorithm

“…In this work we shall make a profound analysis of lossy MTL, and evaluate the efficiency of the above algorithm for lossy MTL, for which the properties are necessarily frequency dependent. Some preliminary results have been presented in [2].…”
