Abstract

In the present paper a simple model has been given to simulate the signal propagation through two cross orthogonal microstrip lines in two different layers of the PCB board. First the structure has been analyzed using full wave software like HFSS, then a simple and suitable lumped equivalent circuit is proposed for the cross talk region and its parameters are obtained. Finally the sparameters of this equivalent circuit compared with the results of full wave simulations. The results show good agreement up to some GHz.
