Crosstalk between high speed parallel bus signals is one of the most important signal integrity(SI) issues. In this article, a crosstalk simulation method based on full-wave scattering parameters extraction for transmission lines is researched. First, the coupling mechanism between transmission lines is analyzed using S-Parameter network theory and a fast frequency-domain method for crosstalk calculation is introduced. Then based on this method, some basic rules of crosstalk are studied in details and the method is validated by simulation results which agree well with those of RLGC model. At the end of this paper, a practical crosstalk simulation example between high speed data bus signals on a 8-layered printed circuit board is demonstrated step by step.

For EMC simulation, the vector fitting model is transformed into time domain state equation model. Then the system is balanced. Then the reduced model can be obtained by removing the states corresponding to the small HSV (Hankel Singular Values). The order of the reduced model is determined by the singular curvature spectrum. Finally, balanced truncation model reduction method is used on a sample chip PDN (Power Distribution Network) and compared with the performance of the AWE (Asymptotic Waveform Evaluation) method. Simulation results show that the proposed method can operate in a wide frequency range and has smaller error and faster speed.
