Abstract
A static electricity protective circuit for use in a high-frequency apparatus for protecting, against static electricity, an internal circuit connected to a signal terminal through which a high-frequency signal and a DC signal are superimposed and transmitted, comprises a high-frequency cut-off element having one end thereof connected to the signal terminal, and a Schottky barrier diode having a cathode thereof connected to other end of the high-frequency cut-off element and an anode thereof connected to ground, wherein the high-frequency cut-off element and the Schottky barrier diode cut off the high-frequency signal and the DC signal respectively and lead static electricity applied to the signal terminal to ground so as to protect the internal circuit against the static electricity.
