1. A grid-type signal distribution network comprising:
a plurality of differential signal transmission lines interconnected in the form of a grid; and
a plurality of phase compensating circuits, each provided between an associated differential signal transmission line at a grid point of the differential signal transmission line;
wherein the number of the differential signal transmission lines commonly connected to the grid point is made the same for entire grid points.
