Mike;

I don't quite understand your approach , it seems to me that you will
still get large reflection because your load impedance is now complex
with the addition of the cap and the real part is still a large
impedance. Can you elaborate more ?

Thanks

Justin

Think about driving the 2 lines in parallel, with only a high-Z path to=20
ground at the receiver input (the condition without the cap). Without=20
the capacitor, the CM reflection coefficient approaches 1.  With the=20
cap, it approaches zero.  With an appropriate resistor in series with=20
the cap at the CT of the 50 ohms, it can be made to be zero.

The obvious drawback is parts count and board real estate.

Regards

Mike
