Estimation of crosstalk in nonuniform cable bundles

This work develops a simple probabilistic model for the prediction of crosstalk in multi-conductor non-uniform wirebundles with resistive loads. Under the assumption of electrically short bundles and weak coupling, mean value and standard deviation of the near-end crosstalk voltage ratio are derived analytically. Model consistency and effectiveness is shown by applying the proposed model to complex structures (composed of tens of conductors), and by comparing statistical predictions versus similar structures, characterized by experimental measurements
