In telecommunication, the term common-mode interference has the following meanings:

1. Interference that appears between signal leads, or the terminals of a measuring circuit, and ground.

2. A form of coherent interference that affects two or more elements of a network in a similar manner (i.e. , highly coupled) as distinct from locally generated noise or interference that is statistically independent between pairs of network elements.
