Patent ID: 7003750

Claim:
A method for generating a shielding wire pattern comprising: obtaining a signal wire geometry, said signal wire geometry having terminal ends; sizing up said signal wire geometry to generate a first template having a first geometry and a first area; sizing up said signal wire geometry to generate a second template having a second geometry and a second area; geometrically subtracting said second template from said first template to generate a third template having a third geometry and a third area; sizing up said terminal ends of said signal wire geometry to generate one or more terminal areas of said third template, each of said terminal areas having a terminal geometry and terminal area; and geometrically subtracting said one or more terminal areas from said third template to generate one or more shielding wire patterns having a shielding wire geometry, wherein a shielding wire pattern represents a routing of a shielding wire used to maintain the electromagnetic integrity of a signal carried on a signal wire.
