The first resistor and the second resistor may be arranged for obtaining a common mode voltage at the common mode terminal between the first resistor and the second resistor. In addition, the common mode capacitor may be arranged for reducing a common mode return loss. Additionally, the AC-coupled amplifier may be arranged for performing capacitor amplification for the common mode capacitor.
