Particulate matter detection circuit and filter processing device

摘要

A particulate matter detection circuit includes, a negative resistance circuit that couples to a first antenna inserted in a housing accommodating a first filter that filters an exhaust gas, couples to a second antenna inserted in the housing via a matching circuit that performs an impedance matching and a second filter that narrows the frequency band of a passing signal, and oscillates at a resonance frequency of the housing, and a detection circuit that outputs a voltage value corresponding to a signal strength of a radio wave received by a third antenna or the second antenna inserted in the housing. The resonance frequency of the housing varies depending on an amount of matter adhered to the first filter.
