Claims18
An electric field compensation wire configured to improve the performance of signal transmission cables and interconnecting cables used between recording and/or playback audio and video components, comprising:
- a center conductor having a center conductor source end and a center conductor destination end, said center conductor providing a first signal path for carrying a first signal;
- a layer of center conductor insulation axially disposed around said center conductor;
- a surround conductor axially disposed around said center conductor insulation and having a surround conductor source end and a surround conductor destination end, said surround conductor providing a second signal path for carrying a second signal in the same direction as said first signal carried on said first signal path;
- wire jacket insulation axially disposed around said surround conductor;
- and
- an electric field compensation circuit that splits an input signal into said first and second signals for transmission in the same direction along said first signal path and said second signal path.
A method to reduce signal distortion caused by dielectric materials in transmission wires and cables, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing an electric field compensation (“EFC”) wire having a center conductor with a center conductor source end and a center conductor destination end, a layer of center conductor insulation axially disposed around the center conductor, a surround conductor axially disposed around the center conductor insulation and having a source conductor source end and a source conductor destination end, wire jacket insulation axially disposed around the surround conductor, and an electric field compensation circuit;
- providing a first electronic component having a positive terminal and a negative terminal;
- providing a second electronic component having a positive terminal and a negative terminal;
- connecting the source end of the center conductor and the source end of the surround conductor of the EFC wire to the positive terminal of the first electronic component;
- connecting the destination end of the center conductor and the destination end of the surround conductor of the EFC wire to the positive terminal of the second electronic component;
- connecting a second conductor to the negative terminal of both the first and second electronic components to provide a return signal path;
- wherein the EFC wire provides the positive signal connection and the second conductor provides the negative connection and a return signal path, and wherein together, the EFC wire and second conductor provide a completed circuit path for the signal transmission;
- and
- wherein the electric field compensation circuit splits an input signal into a first and a second signal for transmission in the same direction along a first signal path on said center conductor and a second signal path along the surround conductor.
