Crosstalk is unwanted noise from structures coupled to a signal link that degrade the useful signal and may reduce the data transmission rate and even cause complete link failure. All possible signal degradation effects, including the crosstalk, can be expressed with the balance of power.
In this paper, we analyze the computational procedure specified for Channel Operation Margin (COM) and compare it to traditional statistical eye/BER analysis.

As serial link speeds increase, systems become more “Stressed”. Loss, low probability deterministic jitter, crosstalk aggression from densely packed signal nets, via and connector impedance and associated resonances, and package [...]
