Hi Kedar,

Adding to previous speakers on this topic, a good parametric plotting visual 
aid for the effects of varying the PCB height, trace width and trace pitch, 
and dielectric materials as a function of both impedance and crosstalk can 
be found at this link: http://www.interactive-products.com/IFSPro_Parms.htm 
The visual tool bar shows plot trends for each of these behaviors, and is a 
good visual intuition development aid.

Following are a couple of examples or illustrations that can be found at the 
link, of impedance and cross talk interdependencies.
- If you increase the conductor width, the impedance will decrease, and the 
cross talk increases.
- If you increase the conductor pitch (conductor width + separation), the 
impedance increases and ultimately asymptotes (levels off) as the cross talk 
decreases as a result of the decoupling of the conductors.
- If you decrease the dielectric height with regards to ground you decrease 
the impedance and decrease the crosstalk.

Cheers.

Nicklas
