Abstract
A variable capacitor includes: capacitors connected in series between first and second signal terminals, capacitances of the capacitors varying in accordance with variable voltage applied to a variable terminal; a first resistor connected between a first node between adjacent capacitors of the capacitors and the variable terminal, a second resistor connected between a second node between adjacent capacitors of the capacitors and a fixed terminal applied with fixed voltage, and a third resistor connected between a third node and the fixed terminal, the third node being located between the first and/or second signal terminal and a capacitor located closest to the first and/or signal terminal among the capacitors, wherein a resistance of the second resistor is less than 1 and ½ or greater with respect to a resistance of the third resistor, and the resistance of the second resistor is not equal to a resistance of the first resistor.
