Method for analyzing and efficiently reducing signal cross-talk noise

In the present invention, a method is provided for analyzing signal noise caused by cross-coupling between an attacker signal line, upon which an attacker signal resides, and a victim signal line, upon which a victim signal resides. This method comprises selecting the victim signal, selecting the attacker signal, performing cross-talk attacker filtering on a plurality of signal lines to identify a first set of potential attacker signals on a first set of potential attacker signal lines that cause signal noise upon said victim signal, performing safety window filtering on a plurality of signals signal lines to identify a second set of potential attacker signals on a second set of potential attacker signal lines that cause signal noise upon the victim signal line, and reducing the effects of the signal noise on at least one of the victim signal lines.
