The present invention provides termination for transmission line
structures propagating common mode signals. Common mode signals typically
represent noise in systems wherein information is transmitted as
differential mode signals. The present invention terminates the common
mode signals in a dynamically matched termination that prevents or
significantly reduces reflection of said common signals without
interference with differential mode transmission lines or their normal
operation. Application is shown for an unshielded, twisted pair
transmission line as commonly used in telephony-based systems for both
voice and broadband data communication. The methods for application of
the present invention to systems with large numbers of conductors are
also shown.
