Abstract
Abstract A noise suppressor for a vehicle including a branch circuit of low impedance connected to an electrical circuit through which a high frequency current passes in a standing wave. The branch circuit is connected at approximately a point corresponding to a node of the standing wave, and is of a length related to the wavelength of the current.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
A wire transmission noise suppressor for a vehicle including an electrical circuit wherein a standing wave of current is formed, comprising a branch circuit of low impedance connected to said electrical circuit at a position corresponding to a node of a standing wave, said branch circuit being a noise trap wire having an open circuit end and a length of about λ/4 + λ2 × n, (n = 0, 1, 2 . . . ), wherein the current is a high frequency signal and λ is the wavelength of the signal, said noise trap wire being arranged along said electrical circuit toward the side from which the high frequency current is generated.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
112 words
