Abstract

In accordance with an embodiment, the coupling arrangement includes adders for adding a common-mode signal to a differential-mode signal and amplification units for individually and evenly amplifying input signals present on their input terminals, thereby yielding amplified common-and-differential-mode signals. Coupling units with capacitive coupling are configured to pass the amplified common-and-differential-mode signals towards a wire pair.
