Figure 3.35Reducing magnetic noise coupling by twisting of wiresThe voltage induced in each section of the loop now alternates phases; its magnitudereduced by the reduction in area of each twisted loop (i.e. 1/4). Provided there is an evennumber of twists in the signal conductors, the voltages due to the magnetic field cancelout and only the desired signal voltage appears across the load.3.6.1 Cable shielding and shield earthingThe effects of noise due to capacitive coupling can be greatly reduced by the use of acylindrical metal shield placed around the signal-carrying conductor. Consider theequivalent circuit shown in Figure 3.36, in which the signal conductors are completelyenclosed by the ungrounded shield.Figure 3.36Equivalent representation of a signal circuit, completely surrounded by a capacitive shieldNote that as the signal conductors are completely enclosed, there is no stray capacitancebetween the signal conductors and ground.Where the source resistance (R S ) is much less than the load resistance (R L ) and alsomuch lower than the impedance of the shield to signal conductor stray capacitance (C 2S ),(i.e. R S
