  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>High-speed and high-density PCB circuit layout design faces serious signal integrity problems. Crosstalk is one of the key problems affecting signal quality. Periodic non-uniform differential microstrip lines have the possibility of reducing crosstalk. This paper proposes a T-shaped non-uniform microstrip line, which adds the T-shaped bump on the inner side of the parallel microstrip lines. The microstrip line adopts the minimum batch production process linewidth to maintain high density, which is suitable for occasions where the line spacing is three times the linewidth. The principle of crosstalk mitigation for T-shaped microstrip lines is explained, and the evolution process of T-shaped microstrip lines is given, compared with parallel microstrip lines and tabbed lines with the same density. The simulation resulting in the time domain and frequency domain shows that the transmission performance of the T-shaped microstrip line is good, and crosstalk can be effectively suppressed in a high-frequency band, even better in some specific frequencies due to the crosstalk fluctuation with frequency.</jats:p>
