This article demonstrates novel ideas for mitigation of far‐end as well as near‐end crosstalk in coupled pair microstrip lines (CPMLs) by means of defected microstrip structure (DMS). Simple equations and models for analysis and design of a DMS are presented and extracted. Different configurations of DMS‐CPMLs are introduced, and their performances in crosstalk reduction are compared. Finally, the best configuration for far‐end crosstalk reduction is fabricated and tested. A maximum of 35 dB reduction in far‐end and 38 dB reduction in near‐end crosstalk are achieved. The signal integrity performance of the structure is also verified by eye‐diagrams. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2012.
