Abstract

Crosstalk is one of the bottlenecks in improving the speed and density of high-speed interconnection systems. In this paper, multi-way and 2-level transmission is changed to one-way and multi-level transmission. Under the condition to maintain the data transmission capacity of the system, the number of microstrip lines is reduced, and the distance between microstrip lines is increased to reduce crosstalk. The simulation results show that over 50% of crosstalk is suppressed in multilevel signal transmission systems.
