Abstract: A signal transmission medium for transmitting EHF band signals from a first point to a second point, including: a first end at which a signal exchange with the first point takes place; a second end at which a signal exchange with the second point takes place; and a transmission line portion which is flexible and connects the first end and the second end. The transmission line portion includes: strip conductors which are formed substantially down a center of a flexible printed circuit board to establish electrical connection between a signal line at the first end and a signal line at the second end; and a pair of grounding sheets which are arranged in parallel to each other at a substantially constant gap from the flexible printed circuit board in 180-degree opposite directions. The cavities are formed between the pair of grounding sheets and the strip conductors.

Abstract: A semiconductor packaging container allowing to use in millimeter band is provided at a low cost. The inner SIG pads and the inner GND pads, capable of a direct connection with a signal terminal of a semiconductor chip 10 are provided on the bottomed cylindrical dielectric case formed of the liquid crystal polymer. Further, the external SIG pads integrally formed with the inner SIG pads 201, 202 and the external GND pad 303 integrally formed with the inner GND pad are provided on the back of the bottom surface of the dielectric case as the external terminal. The inner GND pads and are to form the coplanar waveguide with the inner SIG pads and. Also, the inner GND pads and are to add capacitive reactance for canceling the inductance caused by the space at the semiconductor chip portion to the coplanar waveguide.

Abstract: A high frequency transmission line circuit including a plurality of units each constituting two transmission lines connected in common through one end of each, the other ends being independent, one end of a latter stage of units being connected to the other ends of a former stage so as to form a tournament configuration, the length of the transmission lines being made less than .lambda./4 (.lambda. being one wavelength of a frequency of a high frequency signal), and the charecteristic impedances of the transmission lines in units at an end side of the tournament are set larger than the charecteristic impedances of the transmission lines in the units at the peak side of the tournament such that each two parallely arranged adjoining units at the end side of the tournament configuration are joined, at their commonly connected ends, to the adjoining unit at the peak side thereof, so as to reduce the total length of the device.
