Transceiver including bidirectional switching network circuit

A transceiver connected to a specific channel via a channel connection node, the transceiver comprising:

• a transmitter configured to drive a first node and a second node based on an input data signal in a transmission mode, the first node connected to the channel connection node;
• a receiver configured to receive a specific channel signal from the channel connection node and provide an output data signal based on the specific channel signal and an input differentiation signal in a reception mode, the input differentiation signal being generated based on at least one first output differentiation signal, the at least one first output differentiation signal being obtained by differentiating at least one other channel signal received from at least one other channel, the at least one other channel being connected to at least one other transceiver and different from the specific channel that conveys the specific channel signal;
• and
• a switching network circuit connected between the second node and the channel connection node,
• wherein the switching network circuit has a first circuit in the transmission mode,
• wherein, in the reception mode, the switching network circuit has a second circuit and provides at least one second output differentiation signal by differentiating the channel signal, and
• wherein each of the at least one first output differentiation signal indicates a time-derivative of a corresponding one of the at least one other channel signal, and each of the at least one second output differentiation signal indicates a time-derivative of the specific channel signal.
