Dear Istvan and Craig,

Thank you for your response. However, Far-end crosstalk is indeed 
getting saturation. You can easily find lots of related information 
by Googling "crosstalk saturation". Dr. Zhen Mu has several papers 
addressed on this topic. Elie Michael Issa also mentioned the 
saturation length condition. Typically, the far-end crosstalk is 
assumed to be proportional to coupled length. However, the 
estimation of linear far-end crosstalk is correct only if the system 
is weakly coupled transmission. From conservation point of view, it 
is not reasonable that the coupled energy is increased without 
limitation. Meanwhile, the saturation phenomenon can be explained by 
Modal Velocity. The mechanism of "crosstalk" is the result of 
velocity discrepancy of different modes.
