Abstract
Abstract A four-terminal network, especially for filtering frequency bands or values, behaves as an ideal winding, therefore ensures high selectivity and, if equipped with an iron core, the possibility of carrying out switch operations. The network includes a pair of closely adjacent inductor coils having parallel turns for current in opposite directions, and equal inductance with a capacitor connected to at least one end of one of the coils.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
187 words
A four-terminal network, comprising: a first input terminal; a second input terminal; a first output terminal; a second output terminal connected to said first input terminal at an intermediate point; a first inductance winding having one end connected to said first input terminal, an opposite end and a plurality of turns for conducting current; a second inductance winding having one end connected to said first output terminal, an opposite end connected to said opposite end of said first inductance winding at a common point, and a plurality of turns; and a condenser connected between said common point and said intermediate point; said first and second inductance windings being selected to have substantially identical inductance, to be disposed clearly adjacent each other with each turn of said first inductance winding being adjacent a respective turn of said second inductance winding, said turns of said first and second inductance windings being disposed so that current flows in said first inductance winding in a direction opposite to the direction in which current flows in said second inductance winding, and said first and second inductance windings extending parallel to each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
187 words
A four-terminal network, comprising: a first input terminal; a second input terminal; a first output terminal; a second output terminal connected to said first input terminal at an intermediate point; a first inductance winding having one end connected to said first input terminal, an opposite end and a plurality of turns for conducting current; a second inductance winding having one end connected to said first output terminal, an opposite end connected to said opposite end of said first inductance winding at a common point, and a plurality of turns; and a condenser connected between said common point and said intermediate point; said first and second inductance windings being selected to have substantially identical inductance, to be disposed clearly adjacent each other with each turn of said first inductance winding being adjacent a respective turn of said second inductance winding, said turns of said first and second inductance windings being disposed so that current flows in said first inductance winding in a direction opposite to the direction in which current flows in said second inductance winding, and said first and second inductance windings extending parallel to each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
53 words
A four-terminal network according to claim 1, wherein said first and second inductance windings are bifilar wound about a common core each winding made of the same electrical material and having the same number of turns, said turns of said first winding being in surface contact with said turns of said second winding.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
