Summary :

Crosstalk between lines plays an important role in the transmission of signal. Hence it is of great significance to establish the transmission lines model accurately to evaluate factors affecting crosstalk coupling between lines and to improve the anti-interference capability of the system. As twisted-pair line is widely used for its unique twist structure which improves the anti-interference performance of cables, this paper presents a method of constructing transmission lines model of the shielded twisted-pair line (STP) with two twisted pairs based on S-parameters. Firstly, the transmission lines model of STP with one twisted pair is established. The establishment of distributed capacitance matrix of this model depends on the dielectric constant of insulation layer that surrounds a conductor, but the dielectric constant is often unknown. In this respect, a method to obtain the distributed capacitance matrix based on the S-parameters of this model is proposed. Due to twisting, there is a great deal of variability between the distribution parameters along the length of the STP. As the spatial distribution of conductors in the cross-section of twisted-pair line vary along with the cable length, the distribution parameters matrices also change as they move. The cable is divided into several segments, and the transmission lines model of STP is obtained with the cascade of each segment model. For the STP with two twisted pairs, the crosstalk between pairs is analyzed based on the mixed mode S-parameters. Combined with the transmission lines model of STP with one twisted pair, that of STP with two twisted pairs is obtained. The terminal response voltage can be calculated from the transmission lines model and cable terminal conditions. The validity of the transmission lines model is verified by the consistency between the terminal responses calculated by the model and by the simulated. As the theoretical and simulation results are compatible, the modeling method for the STP with two twisted pairs can be used for the STP with more twisted pairs. In practical engineering application, S-parameters and mixed mode S-parameters can be obtained by testing. That means the transmission lines model of STP can be established based on the test results.
