Hi: I think we can intuitively explain why there is more coupling between narrower strips than wider strips in general. Cross-Section of Two Wider Coupled Strips ======== ======== | | average average center center Cross-section of Two Narrower Coupled Strips ==== ==== | | average average center center We can think we can find an average center of the current flowing on a trace. The average center should be slightly off the center and toward the coupled edge. When the gap width is fixed, you can see the distance between the average centers of the two narrower strips is smaller than that of the two wider strips. Then, we should expect more coupling between the two narrower strips. Best regards, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Jian-X.
