A delay-time variable filter delays an input signal by a desired time according to a control signal from a control input node and outputs the delayed input signal, and a positive feedback loop circuit changes the output signal (sinusoidal wave signal) from this filter, and provides a positive feedback of the binary pulse signal to the input side of the filter at a desired level for carrying out an oscillation. This positive feedback loop circuit includes a circuit for changing the signal into a binary signal and providing a positive feedback of the binary signal to the input of the filter by limiting the signal at a desired amplitude. As the delay-time variable filter, a quartic Butterworth low-pass filter is used, for example. As the positive feedback loop circuit, there is used a voltage comparator circuit that changes an input signal into a binary signal and outputs a pulse signal of a desired amplitude.
