I think I can make NEC-2 work for this. It is a wire antenna modeling program but I can make it do much more. Dave From: Robert A. Macy [mailto:m...@california.com] Sent: Monday, October 08, 2007 3:34 PM To: David Cuthbert Cc: emc-p...@ieee.org Subject: Re: RFI/EMI and Susceptibility on

David, Thank you for your response. It seemed counter intuitive that the second approach would have less crosstalk than the first. That expectation is based upon picturing the fields between the two signal traces as better contained when the traces were side by side on the same layer, than i

Robert, The second PCB stack-up will give less channel-to-channel crosstalk. Imagine the stack-up with the ground traces on layers 2 and 3 removed. The coupling of the layer 2 and layer 3 traces will be almost equal to the adjacent channel. The ground stitching will help a lot. But you need to kno
