Transmission line including first and second signal conductor patterns separated by a third non-signal conductor pattern with specified dimensional relationships there between
View Patent ↗A transmission line includes first and second conductor patterns that serve as signal transmission paths, first and second insulating layers that hold the first and second conductor patterns therebetween, and a third conductor pattern that is arranged between the first and second conductor patterns. No signal is transmitted through the third conductor pattern. A relation 0.5w≤S 1 ≤1.5w and a relation 0.5w≤S 2 ≤1.5w are satisfied in a range of a relation S≥2w, wherein S expresses a distance between the first conductor pattern and the second conductor pattern, w expresses a width of each of the first conductor pattern and the second conductor pattern, S 1 expresses a distance between the first conductor pattern and the third conductor pattern, and S 2 expresses a distance between the second conductor pattern and the third conductor pattern.
