High frequency wide band resonant circuit

Claim 1

A high frequency wide band resonant circuit comprising: a first capacitive element; a first series circuit including a first inductive element and a voltage controlled variable capacitance element and being connected in parallel to said first capacitive element; a second series circuit including a second inductive element and a second capacitive element, said second series circuit being connected in parallel to said variable capacitance element with an end of said second inductive element connected to said first series circuit between said first inductive element and said variable capacitance element and an end of said second capacitive element being connected to a junction of said variable capacitance element with said first capacitive element; means for supplying a control voltage for said variable capacitance element across said second capacitive element; a resistor having one end connected between the junction of said second inductive element with said second capacitive element, and the other end of said resistor being connected to said means for supplying a control voltage; and a third capacitive element connected in series with said resistor across said second capacitive element for forming a π-type-circuit in cooperation with said resistor and said capacitive element and thereby raising the apparent impedance of said second inductive element in a frequency band likely to contain undesirable parasitic resonance and thereby reduce said parasitic resonance.
