Abstract
Component-less termination for electromagnetic couplers used in high speed/frequency differential signaling is described. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a first signal line and a second signal line forming a differential pair, a first electromagnetic coupler to provide sampled electromagnetic signals from the first signal line, and a second electromagnetic coupler to provide sampled electromagnetic signals from the second signal line, wherein the first electromagnetic coupler is far end short circuited and wherein the second electromagnetic coupler is far end open circuited. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
