Crosstalk analysis of a system based on XAUI HM-Zd evaluation backplane data

This paper presents the results of a performance analysis of a system based on measured backplane data published for the XAUI HM-Zd evaluation backplane. This analysis traces the impact of near end and far end crosstalk on bit error rate, and compares results from three different methods for estimating bit error rate in the presence of crosstalk.
