Hi Liu, Xtalk analysis is very different for microstrip and stripline cases, and it also depends what xtalk you are talking about such as FEXT or NEXT. For stripline, there is no FEXT, and NEXT proportional to Cm/C. So in this case, lower Er, to keep the same impedance, H will be decreased, so Cm/C will be smaller. For microstrip case, FEXT is proportional to Cm/C-Lm/L, and NEXT is proportional to Cm/C+Lm/L. In your case, Lm/L is becoming larger (Lm is not changing, L is decreased due to smaller H), Cm/C may be smaller, then FEXT will become larger due to lower Er.
