n 1: the presence of an unwanted signal via an accidental
coupling [syn: crosstalk, XT]
The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):
crosstalk
Interference caused by two signals becoming
partially superimposed on each other due to electromagnetic
(inductive) or electrostatic (capacitive) coupling between the
conductors carrying the signals. A common example of
crosstalk is where the magnetic field from changing current
flow in one wire induces current in another wire running
parallel to the other, as in a transformer. Crosstalk can be
reduced by using shielded cables and increasing the distance
between conductors.
