Abstract

A filter circuit includes: a magnetic material core having a hollow hole through which a conductor line can be inserted; a wound wire wound around the magnetic material core through the hollow hole of the magnetic material core; and a variable impedance unit that is connected with the wound wire, and has impedance that is variable depending on a current or a voltage induced from the conductor line to the wound wire.

Claims (19)

1 . A filter circuit comprising:

a magnetic material core having a hollow hole through which a conductor line is capable of being inserted;

a wound wire wound around the magnetic material core through the hollow hole of the magnetic material core; and

a variable impedance circuit that is connected with the wound wire, and has impedance that is variable depending on a current or a voltage induced from the conductor line to the wound wire, wherein

the variable impedance circuit includes:

an element having characteristics in which impedance of the element is variable adaptively depending on the current or the voltage induced from the conductor line to the wound wire;

a conductor wire that connects the element and both ends of the wound wire; and

a resistor connected to the conductor wire, and

the impedance of the variable impedance circuit changes depending on at least one of a type of the element, a number of windings of the wound wire, a type of the wound wire, a type of the conductor wire, and a constant of the resistor, and wherein

the element is a junction field-effect transistor,

the wound wire includes a first wound wire,

a first end of the first wound wire is connected to a drain terminal of the junction field-effect transistor,

a second end of the first wound wire is connected to a source terminal of the junction field-effect transistor, and

the impedance of the variable impedance circuit is equivalent to a ratio between a drain-source voltage of the junction field-effect transistor that is generated when a current or a voltage is induced from the conductor line to the first wound wire, and a drain-source current of the junction field-effect transistor that flows when the current or the voltage is induced from the conductor line to the first wound wire.

2 . The filter circuit according to claim 1 , wherein

the wound wire includes a second wound wire,

a first end of the second wound wire is connected to a gate terminal of the junction field-effect transistor,

a second end of the second wound wire is connected to the source terminal of the junction field-effect transistor, and

the impedance of the variable impedance circuit changes depending on a gate-source voltage of the junction field-effect transistor that is generated when a current or a voltage is induced from the conductor line to the second wound wire.
