  • Method and apparatus for facilitating signal transmission using differential transmission lines
    Patent number: 7671273
    Abstract: The illustrative embodiments described herein provide an apparatus and method for facilitating signal transmission using differential transmission lines. The apparatus includes a first differential transmission line. The first differential transmission line includes a first plurality of conductors. The first plurality of conductors includes a set of conductors. The apparatus also includes a second differential transmission line. The second differential transmission line includes a second plurality of conductors. The second plurality of conductors includes a first conductor and a second conductor. A first noise produced by the first conductor on the set of conductors is balanced by a second noise produced by the second conductor on the set of conductors. The first differential transmission line and the second differential transmission line facilitate signal transmission.
