Pugal, Basically, yes. The simulation tools can tell you the overall corsstalk and reflections. But by setting up the special and right environment, you may get the FEXT and NEXT separately from simulation tools. For the pure Xtalk, the duration of NEXT and the amplitude of FEXT is proportion to the couple length. But in practice, Xtalk always mixed with reflections. So, you need to do different simulation by modifying the terminator scheme and trace length to study each factors of Xtalk and reflections.

Now one question on the tools and crosstalk measurement. Does the simulation tools gives us the overall crosstalk values due to FEXT and NEXT? Or else provides the values separately and which one to worry most. I know that if there is a impedance mismatch at the near end NEXT will reflect back to receiver on victim lines right, but how long the generated crosstalk remains in its peak value? What are all the boundary conditions need to be followed for crosstalk simulations? Thanks Pugal ________________________________ From: Scott McMorrow <scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, 30 June 2011 7:53 PM Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: 答复: [SI-LIST] Crosstalk and Overshoot/Undershoot Shaopeng brings up a good point. However, I'd like to add a bit more clarity FEXT (Far End Crosstalk) and NEXT (Near End Crosstalk) are what we measure in an interconnect system. They depend on both the coupling coefficients of the interconnect, the directionality of the aggressor, the topology of the interconnect, and any mismatches in the sections of the lines, or the termination at all ends. Forward Crosstalk and Reverse Crosstalk define the wave fronts that propagate on perfectly matched uniform sections of the interconnect. Forward crosstalk has the opposite polarity of the aggressor pulse. Reverse Crosstalk has the same polarity of the aggressor pulse. Measured FEXT may not be the opposite polarity of the aggressor pulse. It is the instantaneous sum of all propagated Forward Crosstalk, and all reflected Reverse Crosstalk on the interconnect from all possible aggressors. If reflected Reverse Crosstalk is dominant, then measured FEXT can have the same polarity as the aggressor pulse. Everything depends on the interconnect system.
