cross-talk

The undesirable exchange of signals between closely spaced electrical elements. The antennas of a radio interferometer can exhibit cross-talk when they are close together. It may also occur if they are observing at low elevations, when one antenna may ‘see’ the back of another. Cross-coupling of noise produces an additional correlated output from the interferometer that must be accounted for. Some sorts of cross-talk can be removed by phase-switching the local oscillators supplied to different antennas at different frequencies (see phase-switching interferometer).

As a matter of fact, he was hearing the first genuine cross-talk that had ever occurred in those dim, pre-music-hall days.

View in context

Transparent photonic networks impose high cross-talk requirements on the components used, whereas the integrated devices which can provide the functionality required in these networks in a compact and cost-effective way usually suffer from relatively high cross-talk figures.
