Scott,
This explains it. I had the following configuration in mind
===================================== plane
=========
trace
===================================== plane
=========
trace
=====================================plane
and with this configuration I was really surprised to find 1V crosstalk in
the Z - axis.
Now, I totally agree with your viewpoint.
Thanks again,
Muhammad
