System and method for mitigating signal propagation skew between signal conducting wires of a signal conducting cable

摘要

A cable includes first and second electrically conducting wires, each of the two wires surrounded by a respective isolating dielectric material for a length of the respective wire. A signal propagation skew between the first and second wires may be detected, and a dielectric constant associated with a wire may be changed to mitigate the detected signal propagation skew. The dielectric constant may be changed by removing or adding dielectric material from or to the wire.
