Abstract
A filter circuit includes a phase inversion branching circuit branching an input signal and outputting separately first and second signals with mutually-inverted phases from first and second output terminals; a first band rejection filter connected the first output terminal of the phase inversion branching circuit and having a first rejection band; a second band rejection filter connected to the second output terminal of the phase inversion branching circuit and having a second rejection band different from the first rejection band; and a combiner combining the outputs of the first and second band rejection filters.
