Abstract

In an interface circuit which couples a two-wire line of bidirectional transmission and unidirectional four-wire receiving and transmitting lines; in order to permit the interface circuit to operate in adaptation to the fluctuation of an impedance with the two-wire line side viewed from the four-wire receiving line, the four-wire receiving line is provided with a plurality of filters and a group of switches for selecting the filters, an output of the four-wire transmitting line is compared with outputs obtained by scanning the filters, and the filter providing the minimum output difference in the comparisons is selected and connected.
