Abstract: A bus for high signal quality interconnections, comprising means for producing at least one common mode reflection, often for differential transmission line interconnections. Also, a bus for high signal quality interconnections further comprising means for under-damping the signal and/or reducing the common mode noise. In both cases the means are at least one impedance termination. To produce common mode reflections, there are non-contact couplers terminated by short and open circuits, which cause the reflections from via connectors and other like impedance discontinuities to be re-reflected in common mode so that they are rejected by a differential receiver. To produce under-damping of the signal and/or a reduction of the common mode noise, capacitive terminations are used. The under-damping of the signal sharpens in the falling edge of the coupler pulses.
