Celine,

Where is the ground plane in your physical model? This makes a
significant difference.

Jack,
Wondering whether I should give your MATH question my PHYSICAL answer or

not.

Firstly, I assume that the coupling you mentioned refers to the coupling

between these two traces of different configurations.

Secondly, assuming that you have 1.6mm FR4(er=3D4.31), double sided, =
size=20
30*30mm^2; by APLAC simulation, the coupling factor(Ze-Zo)/(Ze+Zo) for
6mil=20
traces (1/2oz) routed 6mil broadside is about 0.65; and the coupling
factor=20
for 6mil traces routed 6mil(edge to edge) side by side is about 0.60;
1oz=20
copper doesn't change the results with 1/2oz copper.

So, it sounds that the statement"traces routed 1 inch in parallel will=20
couple the same amount as traces routed .2 inches broadside (layer to=20
layer)" is incredible, unless there is air or other material between
"layer=20
to layer"?

Well, should leave this MATH question to experts. Please give me $3
whenever=20
possible ;)

Regards,
Celine
