English term

crosstalk

GBK English to Dutch Tech/Engineering Telecom(munications)
Definition from Javvin Technologies, Inc.:
Crosstalk is a type of Interference from an adjacent channel or wire, which is caused by electromagnetic interference, along a circuit or a cable pair. A telecommunication signal disrupts a signal in an adjacent circuit and can cause the signals to become confused and cross over each other.
Example sentences:
Crosstalk originating from multiple high-speed data services in the same telephone bundle is a limiting factor for the maximum bit rate, the loop length and the number of data services that a bundle can support. (The Pennsylvania State University)
All current crosstalk mitigation techniques require precise knowledge of the crosstalk coupling functions between the twisted pair wires carrying DSL service within a cable binder. (Rice Scholarship)
Optical bidirectional transmission systems, such as subscriber systems, where two signals are carried over a single fibre are subject to optical crosstalk. This crosstalk causes an unwanted increase of the bit error rate at the receivers in both channels. (Institute of Physics and IOP Publishing)

Overspraak

Definition from Wikipedia:
Overspraak is elektromagnetische interferentie tussen verschillende signalen, bijvoorbeeld tussen het linker- en rechter kanaal van een stereo-signaal.
Example sentences:
Overspraak is één van de gevaarlijkste vormen van signaalverstoring voor een kabel. (Technisch bureau Teeuwen)
Dat is de zogeheten crosstalk, ook wel overspraak genoemd. Deze overspraak wordt ernstiger naarmate de frequentie van de golven groter wordt. (TU Delft)

agree bertd : This is a technical term with no ambiguity in either Dutch or English. I'm surprised such terms exist :-)
