Application Note: Crosstalk Effects Of Shielded Twisted Pairs

By CST of America®, Inc.

This article deals with the modeling and simulation of shielded twisted pairs with CST CABLE STUDIO™. The quality of braided shields is investigated with respect to perfect solid shields. Crosstalk effects are calculated for unshielded twisted pairs, poorly shielded twisted pairs, and twisted pairs with high-quality shields. Explanations are given how to create realistic simulation setups in order to be able to compare them with measurement results.
