Abstract

A multilayer body includes a first pattern conductor, and first and second via conductors. A first end of the first via conductor is electrically coupled with a second signal electrode, and a second end thereof is electrically coupled with the first pattern conductor. A first end of the second via conductor is electrically coupled with the first pattern conductor. The first pattern conductor extends such that a distance between the second via conductor and a second shield electrode is smaller than a distance between the first via conductor and the second shield electrode, a distance between the second via conductor and a third shield electrode is smaller than a distance between the first via conductor and the third shield electrode, and a coupling portion between the second via conductor and the first pattern conductor is outside an area of the second signal electrode.
