- the data transmission rates used in communications systems are continually increasing. This increase has increased crosstalk in the plug/jack system. Accordingly, various methods have been used to decrease the net crosstalk in the system.
- One of these methods includes providing at least one printed circuit board (PCB) in the jack to compensate for crosstalk, reducing the net near end crosstalk (NEXT) in the system. According to some embodiments, reducing the net NEXT in a plug/jack system also results in a reduction of the net far end crosstalk (FEXT).
- PCB printed circuit board
- NEXT net near end crosstalk
- reducing the net NEXT in a plug/jack system also results in a reduction of the net far end crosstalk (FEXT).
- One type of electrical connector typically used in a communication system is an RJ45 connector.
- the standard pin configuration for an eight wire RJ45 plug/jack system contains multiple conductive pairs. These multiple pairs include a split pair (conductors 3 and 6) that straddles an intermediate pair (conductors 4 and 5). Signals introduced to the split pair are capacitively and inductively coupled to the intermediate pair due to the physical proximity of conductors in both the plug and jack. The unintentional coupling introduced to the jack in the proximity of the plug/jack interface is crosstalk. The area in which this coupling occurs is hereinafter referred to as the contact zone,
- FIGS. IA and IB illustrate cross- sectional views of different embodiments of a plug/jack system.

- the jack spring contacts extend from the plug/jack interfaces to connect to a PCB containing Zone C (hereafter referred to as the crosstalk zone).
- Conductive traces on the PCB extend between the jack spring contacts and insulation displacement contacts (IDCs) attached to the PCB.
- IDCs insulation displacement contacts
- Zone B (hereafter referred to as the compensation zone) is disposed between the contact zone and the crosstalk zone.
- the compensation zone may be realized using a PCB or individual elements attached to the jack spring contacts and/or by altering the shape of the jack spring contacts.
- the PCBs in connectors may be rigid PCBs, flexible PCBs, or combinations of the two.
- the compensation zone (Zone B') may also be disposed in the PCB containing the IDCs. Zone B' is electrically more proximate to the contact zone than the crosstalk zone (Zone C) is to the contact zone.
- crosstalk is unintentionally introduced in the contact zone.
- Supplemental crosstalk is intentionally added in the crosstalk zone.
- the compensation zone introduces compensation, which compensates for the combined crosstalk from the contact and crosstalk zones.
- the addition of crosstalk in the crosstalk zone permits the compensation zone of the jack to better compensate for crosstalk in the contact zone by introducing phase-delayed crosstalk to the jack/plug system, as described more thoroughly below and in U.S. Patent No. 7,153,168.
- the effectiveness of compensation at the compensation zone increases with increasing proximity to the contact zone due to the decreased phase delay between the crosstalk introduced in the contact zone and the compensation introduced at the compensation zone.
- the coupling in each zone is modeled as a network between the conductors.
- Networks contain circuits between pairs of coupled conductors. Each circuit contains one or more circuit elements.
- the conductors can include jack spring contacts or conductive traces on the PCB.
- the capacitive and inductive coupling in each of the compensation and crosstalk zones may be provided by distributed elements, such as PCB traces that run parallel to each other or the jack spring contacts, or by individual physical components between the jack spring contacts or traces. If the capacitive and inductive couplings are provided by distributed elements, the coupling in a particular section may be modeled as a circuit containing lumped elements as long as the section is small compared to the wavelength of the maximum frequency to be analyzed.
- the physical size of the section should be less than about 1/20 of the wavelength of the signal to use this approach.
- purely distributed capacitive coupling or purely distributed inductive coupling exists between a conductor pair
- such coupling may be modeled by the use of a single capacitor or inductor, respectively, between the conductor pair.
- the contact zone contains a combination of a distributed mutually inductive coupling and a distributed capacitive coupling between conductor pairs which results in multiple first-order couplings, as shown in Fig. 2.
- the magnitude of a first-order coupling such as a purely capacitive coupling, has a frequency dependence of approximately 20 dB per decade.
- the lumped-element model is appropriate for the normal operating frequency range of the plug/jack system. Thus, the lumped-element model will be used to describe the circuit elements of various circuits discussed herein.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic model of the three-zone plug/jack system of Figs. IA and IB, showing only conductors 3, 4, 5, and 6 for clarity.
- Each of the three zones includes capacitive and inductive circuit elements, shown in the compensation and crosstalk zones as a block containing a network.
- the contact zone includes capacitive and inductive coupling from the plug wires and contacts (112 in Fig. IA), capacitive coupling resulting from the jack spring contacts extending from the plug/jack interface to the end of the jack spring contacts away from the PCB (114 in Fig. IA), and capacitive and inductive coupling from the jack spring contacts extending from the plug/jack interface towards the PCB (116 in Fig. IA).
- capacitive and mutual inductive coupling between conductors 3 and 4 and between conductors 6 and 5.
- the amount of each of the capacitance and mutual inductance may be different between the two coupled pairs. Similar coupling may occur between the conductors in the compensation and crosstalk zones.
- the coupling shown in the contact zone of Fig. 2 is a first-order coupling.
- first-order couplings in the compensation and crosstalk zones may provide some ability to reduce the crosstalk, such couplings have limitations in crosstalk reduction.
- Other networks may be employed to better reduce the crosstalk.
- a lattice network having multiple frequency-dependent couplings may be used in the compensation and/or crosstalk zones to provide compensation and crosstalk coupling.
- One embodiment of a lattice network contains an inductance and capacitance in series (i.e., a series LC circuit) between two sets of conductor pairs and a shunt capacitance between two other sets of conductor pairs.
- This embodiment of a lattice network is modeled as two series LC circuits in a crosstalk configuration (one between conductor pair 3-4 and the other between conductor pair 5-6) and two shunt capacitors in a compensation configuration (one between conductor pair 3-5 and the other between conductor pair 4-6).
- the lattice network can be employed in either or both of the compensation zone and the crosstalk zone.
- the frequency response slope of the lattice network is tunable and may be either higher or lower, the phase shift of the lattice network changes with frequency to a greater extent, and the resonant frequency of the lattice network may be designed as desired.
- the frequency response slope of the lattice network may be adjusted more flexibly, the phase shift of the lattice network changes with frequency to a greater extent, and the inductance used in the lattice network can be smaller which permits the physical layout of the traces on the PCB providing the inductance to be reduced in size.
- the use of the lattice network permits improved frequency shaping of the crosstalk response of the plug/jack system.
- FIGs 3 and 4 show SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) circuit model schematics for various embodiments of networks in the compensation zone and the crosstalk zone, respectively.
- each of the networks in Figs. 3 and 4 may be provided by traces on a PCB, with the coupling between the traces represented as individual circuit elements.

- one shunt capacitor (Co in Fig. 3(iii) and C X3 in Fig. 4(iii)) is connected in a compensation configuration between conductors 3 and 5 and the other shunt capacitor (Ci 4 in Fig. 3(iii) and C x4 in Fig. 4(iii)) is connected in a compensation configuration between conductors 4 and 6.
- capacitors Co and Ci 4 are equal to each other and have a larger capacitance than capacitors Cn and Ci 2 , which are also equal to each other.
- Fig. 3(iii) capacitors Co and Ci 4 are equal to each other and have a larger capacitance than capacitors Cn and Ci 2 , which are also equal to each other.
- capacitors C X3 and C x4 are equal to each other but have a smaller capacitance than capacitors C xl and C x2 , which are also equal to each other.
- a lattice network may be implemented in the crosstalk zone as shown in Fig. 4(iii), for example, when the contact zone vector and the crosstalk zone vector are not balanced with respect to the compensation zone vector, as shown in Fig. 8 A. This can happen when the magnitudes of the contact and crosstalk vectors are not equal and/or when the phase differences between the compensation vector and the contact and crosstalk vectors are not equal.
- the capacitance and inductance of the series LC circuit alone and the lattice network may be designed such that the series LC circuit alone and the lattice network do not play a significant role in coupling at lower frequencies (e.g., less than about 100 MHz) but play an increasingly significant role at higher frequencies (e.g., greater than about 100 MHz) due to the presence of the series inductor.
- Figs. 5 A and 5B illustrate the responses of different networks in the crosstalk zone of the RJ45 plug/jack system. More specifically, Figs. 5 A and 5B compare the magnitude and phase shift, respectively, of a first-order coupling (capacitance only), a series LC circuit (as shown in Fig.

- a characteristic operating frequency range of the plug/jack system is denoted in Figs. 5A and 5B as the dashed region entitled "area of interest" and extends from about 200 MHz to about 500 MHz.
- the first-order coupling response has a slope of approximately 20 dB per decade in the area of interest.
- the series LC circuit has a resonance at approximately 1.1 GHz. Below resonance, the response of the series LC circuit has a slope of about 25 dB per decade. The slope of the response of the lattice network below resonance is larger (at about 30 dB per decade) than the response slope of the series LC circuit.
- phase shifts of the first-order coupling, the series LC circuit, and the lattice network in the crosstalk zone as a function of frequency are illustrated in Fig. 5B.
- the phase shifts of the first-order coupling and the series LC circuit in the area of interest are approximately the same.
- the phase shift of the lattice network changes with frequency to a greater extent than the phase shift of either the first-order coupling or the series LC circuit over the area of interest.
- the difference in magnitude and phase shift exhibited by the lattice network compared to the first-order coupling or the series LC circuit can be taken advantage of when compensating the plug/jack system. This is also shown in more detail using the vector diagrams of Figs. 7 and 8 and described in more detail below.
- Figs. 6A and 6B illustrate the magnitude response and phase shift, respectively, of the lattice network (shown in Fig. 3(iii)) and the first-order (capacitive) coupling (shown in Fig. 3(i)).
- the values of the circuit elements used in the simulations in Figs. 6 A and 6B are the same as those used in Figs. 5A and 5B except that each crosstalk capacitance used in the simulation of the lattice network is 2pF and each compensation capacitance is IpF.
- the magnitude of the first-order coupling response shown in Fig. 6 A has a slope of about 20 dB per decade.
- the magnitude of the lattice network response in the area of interest is smaller than that of the first-order coupling and has a slope that varies from about 20 dB per decade at the lower end of the area of interest to about 0 dB per decade at the higher end of the area of interest.
- the phase shift of the lattice network changes with frequency to a greater extent than the phase shift of the first-order coupling over the area of interest.
- the magnitude and phase shift of the lattice network are able to be more precisely tailored to better compensate for crosstalk than the first-order coupling or the series LC circuit.
- Figures 7 and 8 illustrate vector models of a three-zone plug/jack system.
- the compensation and crosstalk from the contact zone, the compensation zone, and the crosstalk zone may be analyzed as a set of frequency-dependant vectors separated by a phase differences from a reference plane (which is nominally located at the effective center of the compensation zone). The phase differences depend on the physical distances between the couplings and also upon the materials through which the signals propagate.
- the contact zone contains multiple crosstalk terms that can be combined to form a single crosstalk vector that has a magnitude and a phase. Both the crosstalk from the contact zone and the crosstalk from the crosstalk zone have a phase difference from the compensation from the compensation zone.
- the vectors from the three zones may be summed together to calculate the frequency-dependant crosstalk.
- the vector models of Figs. 7 and 8 compare a first-order coupling to a lattice network implemented in the compensation zone and crosstalk zone, respectively.
- the relative magnitudes of the vectors are shown at different frequencies. Note that these figures show the magnitudes of the vectors relative to each other, the absolute magnitudes of the vectors increase with frequency over the area of interest.
- low frequency refers to frequencies below about 50MHz
- medium frequency refers to frequencies between about 50MHz and 200MHz
- high frequency refers to frequencies above about 200MHz.
- the relative magnitudes of the vectors are shown at different frequencies.
- FIG. 7A Implementation of a first-order coupling in the compensation zone in Fig. 7A is compared to implementation of a lattice network in the compensation zone in Fig. 7B.
- the vector diagrams of Figs. 7A and 7B assume that the plug/jack system is balanced, i.e. the phase angle differences between the compensation and the crosstalk from the contact zone and between the compensation and the crosstalk from the crosstalk zone are the same and that the crosstalk in the contact zone has the same magnitude as the crosstalk in the crosstalk zone.
- the crosstalk components are shown in Figs. 7A and 7B by the vectors pointing downward (710, 711, 712, 720, 721, 722 in Fig.
- the crosstalk vectors are symmetric around 0° (the compensation zone is taken as the reference plane in Figs. 7 and 8) as shown by angles Cp 1 , ⁇ 2 , ⁇ 3 in Fig. 7A and ⁇ 4 , ⁇ 5 , ⁇ 6 in Fig. 7B.
- the angles represent the phase difference between the compensation zone and the contact and crosstalk zones.
- the relative magnitude of the crosstalk vector 720, 721, 722 in the contact zone is A ml , A m2 , A m3 , respectively, and the relative magnitude of the crosstalk vector 710, 711, 712 in the crosstalk zone is C ml , Cj 112 , C m3 , respectively, in Fig. 7A.
- the relative magnitude of the crosstalk vector in the contact zone 760, 761, 762 is A m 4, A m5 , A m 6, respectively, and the relative magnitude of the crosstalk vector 750, 751, 752 in the crosstalk zone is C m 4, C m s, C m 6, respectively, in Fig. 7B.
- the crosstalk vectors increase in relative magnitude and angle with frequency.
- the compensation in the compensation zone is provided to compensate for the crosstalk in the plug/jack system.
- the compensation vector (730, 731, 732 in Fig. 7A and 770, 771, 772 in Fig. 7B) from the compensation zone has a polarity opposite to that of the resultant of the crosstalk vectors.
- the resultant vector (740, 741, 742 in Fig. 7A and 780, 781, 782 in Fig. 7B) is the combination of the crosstalk and compensation vectors.
- the resultant vector represents the crosstalk remaining in the plug/jack system after compensation.
- the resultant vector overlies the compensation vector (i.e., 740 overlies 730, 741 overlies 731, 742 overlies 732 in Fig. 7A, 780 overlies 770, 781 overlies 771, 782 overlies 772 in Fig. 7B).
- the magnitudes of the compensation and the crosstalk vectors individually increase with frequency at a rate of about 20 dB per decade. This causes the resultant vector to increase relatively rapidly with frequency because the compensation vector increases more than the combined cosine ⁇ components of the crosstalk vectors from the crosstalk and contact zones.
- the crosstalk in the plug/jack system increases substantially with increasing frequency.
- the vector diagrams of Fig. 7B illustrate a plug/jack system that employs a lattice network in the compensation zone.
- the vectors in Fig. 7B are similar to those in Fig. 7A.
- the compensation vector 770, 771, 772 increases with frequency at a rate of less than 20 dB per decade, i.e. less than that of the individual crosstalk vectors 750, 751, 760, 761, 752, 762.
- the increase of the compensation vector 770, 771, 772 can be better matched to the increase in the combined cosine ⁇ components of the respective crosstalk vectors 750 and 760, 751 and 761, 752 and 762.
- the resultant vector still has no phase shift but increases with frequency less than in the jack of Fig. 7A.
- FIG. 8A A simplified vector model of an RJ45 plug and jack three-zone system at different frequencies in which a first-order coupling is implemented in the crosstalk zone is shown in Fig. 8A, and a vector model in which a lattice network is implemented in the crosstalk zone is shown in Fig. 8B.
- the vector diagrams of Figs. 8A and 8B assume that the plug/jack system is not balanced.
- the phase angle differences between the compensation and the crosstalk from the contact zone and between the compensation and the crosstalk from the crosstalk zone are not the same. As illustrated by the angles ( ⁇ ) in Fig.
- the phase shift of the crosstalk zone crosstalk from the compensation is smaller than the phase shift of the contact zone crosstalk from the compensation (i.e., O 1 > O 2 , ⁇ 3 > O 4 , ⁇ 5 > ⁇ 6 ).
- the crosstalk in the contact zone and the crosstalk in the crosstalk zone in Fig. 8A have the same magnitude; the magnitude of crosstalk in the contact zone is larger than the magnitude of the crosstalk in the crosstalk zone (i.e., A nl > C nl , An 2 > da, A n 3 > Cn 3 ).
- Fig. 8 A similarly to Fig. 7A, the magnitudes of the individual crosstalk vectors 810, 811, 812, 820, 821, 822 increase with frequency at a rate of about 20 dB per decade (i.e., A n 3 > An 2 >A nl and Ca > Cn 2 > C nl ).
- the magnitude of the compensation vector 830, 831, 832 also correspondingly increases with frequency at a rate of about 20 dB per decade. Due to the imbalance, the resultant vector 840, 841, 842 does not overlie the compensation vector 830, 831, 832.
- the resultant vector 840, 841, 842 grows in magnitude and phase delay with increasing frequency due to the increased phase mismatch of the crosstalk vectors 810 and 820, 811 and 821, 812 and 822.
- Employing a lattice network in the crosstalk zone reduces the relative magnitude of the resultant vector, as shown in Fig. 8B.
- a n4 C n4
- a n s C n s
- the relative magnitude of the crosstalk vector 850, 851, 852 in the crosstalk zone due to the lattice network as shown in Fig. 8B increases at a greater rate than the relative magnitude of the crosstalk vector 810, 811, 812 in the crosstalk zone due to a first-order coupling as shown in Fig. 8 A.
- the relative magnitude of the resultant vector 880, 881, 882 in the plug/jack system implementing the lattice network in the crosstalk zone thus increases with
- the NEXT of the plug/jack system having a lattice network in the crosstalk zone 910 is significantly less than the NEXT of the plug/jack system having first-order coupling in the crosstalk zone 920.
- the difference between the NEXT of the plug/jack system with the lattice network 910 and the NEXT of the plug/jack system with the first-order coupling 920 increases to 15-20 dB at about 500MHz.
- the NEXT of the plug/jack system with both the lattice network 910 and the first-order coupling 920 are below the NEXT limit 930 for frequencies less than about 400MHz.
- the NEXT of the plug/jack system with the first-order coupling 920 exceeds the NEXT limit 930 while the NEXT of the plug/jack system with the lattice network 910 remains below the NEXT limit 930.
- Both the bandwidth of an RJ45 jack and the NEXT margin are improved over a first-order coupling by using a lattice network in the crosstalk zone in the normal operating range of the plug/jack system.
- SPICE simulations of a first-order coupling and a lattice network implemented in the compensation zone are compared to the NEXT limit in Fig. 10.
- the NEXT of the plug/jack system having a lattice network in the compensation zone 1010 and the NEXT of the plug/jack system having first-order coupling in the compensation zone 1020 are almost identical below about 100MHz. Between about 100MHz and 200MHz, the NEXT of the plug/jack system having a lattice network in the compensation zone 1010 is larger than the NEXT of the plug/jack system having first-order coupling in the compensation zone 1020.

- the NEXT of the plug/jack system with both the lattice network 1010 and the first-order coupling 1020 are below the NEXT limit 1030 for frequencies less than about 400MHz. Above 400MHz, the NEXT of the plug/jack system with the first-order coupling 1020 exceeds the NEXT limit 1030 while the NEXT of the plug/jack system with the lattice network 1010 remains below the NEXT limit 1030.
- both the bandwidth of an RJ45 jack and the NEXT margin are improved over a first-order coupling by using a lattice network in the compensation zone in the normal operating range of the plug/jack system.

- the coupling between each pair of conductors includes a capacitor in series with an inductor.
- the mutual inductance, M, of the inductor varies with a mutual coupling constant, K. K varies between 0 and 1 (i.e., 0 ⁇ K ⁇ 1).
- Each capacitor is IpF and the self-inductance L s of each inductor L sl , L s2 , L S3 , L s4 is 20 nH in Figs. 12A and 12B.
