Shielded Wire Pair -- Free Space

This configuration is applicable to shielded wire pairs routed sufficiently far from conductive surfaces that they may be considered in free space.

The term sep1-2 is the distance between the center of wire 1 and the center of wire 2.  The value of sep1-2 must be greater than the sum of the radius of wire 1 and the radius of wire 2.  The value of sep1-2 must be less than the shield radius minus the radius of wire 1 minus the radius of wire 2.

The term sep1-shield is the distance in meters between the center of wire 1 and the shield inner surface.  The term sep2-shield is the distance in meters between the center of wire 2 and the shield inner surface.  The value of sep1-shield must be greater than the radius of wire 1, and the value of and sep2-shield must be greater than the radius of wire 2. 

Angle θ is the angle in degrees between a line that intersects the center of the shield and the center of the wire1, and a second line that intersect the center of the shield and the center of wire 2.  The value for Angle θ must be in the range 0 to 180, inclusive, and must be sufficiently large that wire 1 and wire 2 do not occupy the same space.

The shield diameter must be greater than the sum of wire 1 and wire 2 diameters.

Wire 1 is the upper conductor in the Main Screen diagram, Wire 2 is the middle conductor, and Wire 3 is the lower conductor.  Wire 3 is the ground conductor.
