m "Half-sum" seems like a very obscure term. So I replaced with the more common term "average" hyperlinked to arithmetic mean.
Line 1:
'''Common-mode signal''' is the voltage common to both input terminals of an electrical device. In [[telecommunication]], the common-mode signal on a [[transmission line]] is also known as '''longitudinal voltage'''.
 
In most [[electrical circuit]]s the signal is transferred by a differential voltage between two conductors. If the voltages on these conductors are U<sub>1</sub> and U<sub>2</sub>, the common-mode signal is the half-sum[[Arithmetic mean|average]] of the voltages:
