Abstract: The invention includes a magnetic filter. The magnetic filter includes a magnetic transducer for generating a magnetic field in response to the plurality of information carrying signals. The magnetic filter further includes a magnetic tunnel junction. The magnetic tunnel junction can be tuned to switch states in response to selected frequencies of the magnetic field. The magnetic filter can further include a magnetic tunnel junction sensor for sensing the states of the magnetic tunnel junction.
