Aggressor alignment for worst-case coupling noise

In this paper we study signal alignment resulting in maximum peak interconnect crosstalk noise. We consider two cases. In the first one we assume that arbitrary arrival times of input signals are feasible. In the second case we assume that timing windows are given for each aggressor input. We propose a simple procedure to find aggressor alignment for worst-case coupling in both cases. Keywords Crosstalk noise, aggressor alignment, interconnect coupling, signal integrity, timing window.
