English term or phrase: crosstalk
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 sentence(s):
  • 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

diafonía


Definition from RAE:
diafonía.

(Del gr. διαφωνία, disonancia).
1. f. Transferencia indebida de energía de un circuito de transmisión perturbador a otro denominado perturbado.

Example sentence(s):
  • Aislamiento eléctrico. Las fibras ópticas son casi completamente inmunes a los campos externos. Ellos no padecen diafonía (cross talk), radiointerferencia, etc. Además no transporta corrientes eléctricas peligrosas. - Universidad Nacional de Colombia  
  • En Telecomunicación, se dice que entre dos circuitos existe diafonía, denominada en inglés Crosstalk (XT), cuando parte de las señales presentes en uno de ellos, considerado perturbador, aparece en el otro, considerado perturbado. - Wikipedia

intermodulación


Definition from Diccionario politécnico:
Es la distorsión (diferencia entre señal que entra a un equipo y señal que luego sale del mismo) que se produce cuando dos o más señales atraviesan simultáneamente un sistema no lineal.

Example sentence(s):
  • Otro fenómeno que interfiere en la calidad de la transmisión de señales sobre pares de cobre es la intermodulación (en inglés crosstalk) . Esta consiste en que la señal transmitida por un par, irradia parte de su energía electromagnética sobre los pares agrupados dentro del mismo cable que, como se anotó anteriormente, pueden ser varios cientos o miles. Entre más pares estén transmitiendo simultáneamente, mayor será el efecto adverso de la intermodulación entre ellos. La intermodulación se categoriza en dos formas: Intermodulación de Extremo Cercano –NEXT (Near End Crosstalk) que es la más grave, ya que las señales salen con toda su energía de origen y por tanto su irradiación es mayor. La otra forma es la Intermodulación de Extremo Lejano – FEXT (Far End Crosstalk) que es menos grave que la NEXT, debido a que las señales llegan con menos energía al otro extremo de la línea. La Figura 1.4 muestra en forma esquemática las dos categorías de intermodulación - Acceso de Banda Ancha sobre Bucle de Abo  

Explanation:
This is another option, more commonly used in radio communications especially if it involves an analog or wave-type signal. I would agree that "diafonía" is more prevalent in digital telecommunications though.

No  xxxmediamatrix: Crosstalk and intermodulation are totally different concepts - in both English and Spanish.//Many tec dicos simplify concepts for the benefit of non-specialists - to the point of being misleading or incorrect.
2 hrs
  -> Sorry, but many technical dictionaries offer both depending on context, hence I listed this option while agreeing that "diafonía" was my pref here. They are quite related but not exactly the same, saying they are "totally" different is a bit misleading.

Yes  ddelgado: Diafonía es un término bien conocido en telecomunicaciones
