Lisa,
Hopefully Doug's ultracad link can provide you with the information
you need. The true and complement signals within the pair do
"crosstalk" with one another. However, a good differential driver
will switch the true and compliment signals out of phase with
one another at approximately the same instant in time. Therefore,
you will have only one predetermined crosstalk condition and it is much
easier to not think of the effect as crosstalk but as setting up an odd-mode
or differential impedance. If you are designing for Zo=50 ohms, for
example,
then for differential signaling you want to design the odd-mode impedance
for 50 ohms to a ground return. Often times 50 ohms to ground is instead
referred to as 100 ohms differential when referencing the impedance between
the
true and complement signals. Hopefully you have a EM tool that provides
you with the differential impedance (ours will when the number of conductors
is exactly equal to two).
Mike
