Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to present an evaluation of the crosstalk models developed for a shareware version of Spice.
Design/methodology/approach
The transmission line model is compared with π lumped circuit models by varying the number of cells. The influence of losses is also introduced, and some constraints regarding the models are examined, showing the suitability of the new Spice libraries developed by the authors. In order to validate the theoretical results some experiments were carried out.
Findings
The paper finds that Spice is a powerful engineering tool for students and technicians involved in EMC analyses.
Originality/value
The main aspects concerning the accuracy and integrity of the experimental data are emphasized and discussed in this paper.
