Abstract: The problem of crosstalk evaluation among PCB traces in a multilayer structure is studied by means of an
S-matrix technique. Two bundles of parallel lines, perpendicularly crossing on different layers, are analysed,
and this complex structure is decomposed into subsystems, each of them characterised by its S matrix. The
elementary subsystems consist of bundles of parallel lines and crosses of two lines. A particular algorithm,
developed to number the ports of each subsystem, allows one to easily recognise the interconnected ports and
the external ports (I/O ports), to achieve the S matrix of the overall structure in terms of the I/O ports. The
application of this technique to a 3×3 and a 7×7 configuration shows a good agreement between theoretical
and experimental results. Finally, the analysis in the frequency domain is extended to the time domain by a
standard FFT algorithm, and, as an example, an ESD current flowing along a line is examined, as well as its
coupling toward an adjacent and crossing line.
