Lei, I have never found a closed form solution that is even vaguely accurate when it comes to coupled TLs. They usually fall apart on the odd mode capacitance (when compared to field solver results). I certainly wouldn't design with them. I use hand calculations to increase my understanding of the fundamental concepts of coupling, but nothing more. If anyone on the list knows of some 10% accurate,no, even 20% accurate formulas when compared to solver results, I would appreciate links also.

I have a cross-talk noise budget (for both backward(Near End) and forward(Far End) noise) and want to estimate the min space needed between two microstrip lines. 1) Based on the Xtalk noise budget, I estimated the backward crosstalk coefficient Kb and forward crosstalk coefficent Kf through Vb=Kb*Vm and Kf*L*Vm/Tr 2) But I don't know how to find the Min Space from the Kf and Kb. Can someone give me suggestions,relative papers or URL links? Thanks in advance.
