Abstract
Abstract A variable impedance circuit includes a first differential amplifier circuit having an input terminal pair, an output terminal pair and a capacitive element connected between the emitters of a transistor pair. The variable impedance circuit further inclludes a second differential amplifier circuit having an input terminal pair and an output terminal pair. The output terminal pair of the first differential amplifier circuit is connected to the input terminal pair of the second differential amplifier circuit. Furthermore, the output terminal pair of the second differential amplifier circuit is connected to the input terminal pair of the first differential amplifier circuit.
