Modeling noise coupling from non-parallel PCB trace routing

Coupling between PCB signal traces in proximity is of concern to PCB designers and EMC engineers. The behavior of noise coupling between nonparallel microstrip lines is studied in this paper by a full-wave numerical modeling method CEMPIE, designating a circuit extraction approach based on a mixed-potential integral equation formulation. Good agreement between the numerical results and measurements was obtained.
