Dear Zhangkun, Measuring far-end crosstalk with no reference plane is trickier than near-end crosstalk. You may need higher isolation in the connecting cables' braids. If you already have some means to break the ground loop between the two VNA ports, look at it and try to improve on it and repeat the measurement.
