Signal degradation due to crosstalk-related issues has become increasingly important particularly in high-speed signal transmissions. Conventional analysis of crosstalk requires a full electromagnetic modeling of the signal transmission path along with a time-domain transient simulation which is computationally demanding. In this work, we apply a multilayer perceptron neural network for crosstalk prediction in coupled transmission lines. The well-trained neural networks can be used to predict the time-domain crosstalk directly, thereby replacing complex circuit simulations. Numerical results show a high degree of generalization of the neural networks, which are able to produce accurate results and can be trained to include effects such as reflections and input mismatches.
