Abstract
A method for receiving a signal, which is transmitted over a pair of wires is measuring a differential mode (DM) signal and is measuring a common mode (DM) signal and using both DM and CM to restore the original signal. A corresponding receiver () comprises a CM receiving path (), a DM receiving path () and a digital signal processor () to combine CM and DM signals. With this method and receiver () the coverage of networks, which are slightly unbalanced, can be enhanced, especially in cases where the CM signal is less attenuated than the DM signal.
