Abstract: A module and system are provided for reducing or suppressing ringing occurring in a digital signal to be transmitted. A transmission module Ma includes a transmitter 200a configured to transmit a digital signal, a transmission antenna 100a constituted by a metal plate, or by a conductor formed on an insulator, the transmission antenna 100a being configured to be electromagnetically or magnetically coupled to a reception antenna 100b of a non-contact reception module Mb for digital communication, and a resistor 400a connected in series between the transmitter 200a and the transmission antenna 100a.

Abstract: A polycrystal having a physical property that enables an AC resistance value to drop sharply is used to reduce transmission loss of a high frequency signal being transmitted. A high frequency transmission device D1 is provided that includes a dielectric 100 and a transmission line 200 adapted for transmitting therethrough high frequency signals. At least part of the transmission line 200 is located on or inside the dielectric 100. At least part of the transmission line 200 is composed of a polycrystal composed of conductor fine particles. The polycrystal has a physical property such that, when a high frequency signal to be transmitted through the transmission line 200 is of frequencies within one or more specific frequency bands, the AC resistance value drops sharply.
