The seminar 32 is a short tutorial on a not-widely-known area of signal integrity: multiconductor transmission line (MTL) theory and its application to echo and crosstalk reduction techniques. The lecture slides of the seminar 32 are published by Excem as a book and as a free electronic book. This book is useful to the signal integrity engineering community, as a concise and up-to-date summary of the state of the art in this area. It is also a good tool for the attendees of our classes.

Presentation of the tutorialThe first part of the tutorial presents propagation models based on the theory of MTLs. This theoretical part uses matrix algebra, but is not difficult to follow. It is focused on the following points which are essential for the applications considered in the second part: concisely presenting the MTL model; identifying a few common misconceptions on modal voltages and currents; comparing bi-orthonormal eigenvectors with associated eigenvectors; and explaining the total decoupling of the telegrapher's equations. In a second part, this theoretical framework is used to describe and analyze most known techniques for reducing crosstalk and echo in a uniform multiconductor interconnection. Here, the purpose is the reduction of the number of transmission conductors and their spacing. The effect of discontinuities such as vias, connectors, etc, is not covered. The following schemes are considered: multiple single-ended links, multiple differential links, links implementing modal transmission schemes and multichannel pseudo-differential links. |
