CMRR stands for Common Mode Rejection Ratio, and it is a measure of how well the amplifier rejects signals that appear on both leads. The idea is that an amplifier should amplify the (Differential Mode) signal, but not any noise (Common Mode) that might appear on the lines, perhaps due to induction from nearby AC power sources. Since induction will show up on both leads, a high CMRR amplifier will have a greater signal to noise ratio overall

Why high CMRR is preferred?
You want an amplifier to reject common mode signals (the same signal applied to both inputs of a differential amplifier) because:it is generally noise, which sounds like staticit can cause drift in the amplifier eventually saturating it, causing clipping distortionBTW, single ended input amplifiers by definition have a CMRR of zero.
What is CMRR?
CMRR is common mode rejection ratio. it is the ratio of Differential gain to common mode gain. CMRR=Ad/Ac
What is common mode voltage?
I assume you're referring to an amplifier circuit. In a differential amplifier, there are two inputs. The common mode output voltage is the output voltage that will result from the same voltage being applied to both inputs. Typically this is very low, as the common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) is very high in a differential amplifier. This is an ideal characteristic (high CMRR) as it means unwanted noise will not be amplified and potentially squelch out the desired signal; this is why a differential amplifier is used in high quality sound equipment. Three wires are used - a ground, and two signal wires that are opposite each other. Noise will inherently "hop on" the signal wires, but as they are close to one another, it is likely the noise will be nearly the same magnitude and sign on each wire. Since the amplifier CMRR is high, this noise does not propogate through the amplifier, while the original signal is amplified.
What are the advantages of instrumentation amplifier over differential amplifier?
a differential amplifier helps to increase the CMRR which in turn helps avoid unwanted signals that couple into the input to get propagated. IT also helps to increase the signal to noise ratio. furthermore it provides larger output voltage swings.
What does cmmr mean?
Do you mean CMRR? If so, it means Common Mode Rejection Ratio. CMRR measures how well a differential input will reject a common mode signal (common mode means the same signal applied to both differential input leads at the same time). The ratio is expressed in decibels (dB).
