In this paper the crosstalk between nonuniform transmission lines is examined. Firstly, methods for prediction of crosstalk between microstrip transmission lines are reviewed. Classical coupled transmission line theory is used for uniform lines and cannot be used for nonuniform transmission lines. Secondly, equations are derived which can be solved to obtain formulas for the near-end and far-end crosstalk for nonuniform transmission lines. Finally, an example is worked which illustrates the crosstalk between three conductor nonuniform transmission lines. Obtained theoretical results were compared with simulations data. Comparison results shown that theoretical and simulation results are approximately the same.
