1. An impedance matching circuit having:
a first resistance;
a first analog computing unit which multiplies a voltage at one end of the first resistance by a predetermined number, subtracts a voltage at the other end of the first resistance from the voltage multiplied by the predetermined number, and outputs a voltage obtained by the subtraction;
a second resistance connected to an output side of the first analog computing unit; and
a second analog computing unit which multiplies a voltage at one end of the second resistance by a predetermined number, subtracts a voltage at the other end of the second resistance from the voltage multiplied by the predetermined number, and outputs a voltage obtained by the subtraction,
wherein the first resistance is connected to an output side of the second analog computing unit.
