Abstract:
In a transceiver, on a top surface of a rectangular plate-shaped substrate, transmission radiating elements and receiving radiating elements are provided. The transmission radiating elements extend in the horizontal or lateral direction from the center of the substrate. The receiving radiating elements extend in the vertical or longitudinal direction from the center of the substrate. Inductors included in a matching feeding element are individually electromagnetically coupled to transmission-side feeding points that are inner end portions of the transmission radiating elements and receiving-side feeding points that are inner end portions of the receiving radiating elements. A transmission signal is transmitted with a wave polarized in the horizontal or lateral direction, and a signal having a vertical or longitudinal polarization direction is received.

A signal line that is easily inflected includes a laminated body including at least insulator layers that include flexible material and are laminated from a positive direction side in a z axis direction to a negative direction side therein in this order. A ground conductor is securely fixed to a main surface on the positive direction side of the insulation sheet in the z axis direction. A signal line is securely fixed to a main surface on the positive direction side of the insulator layer in the z axis direction. A ground conductor is securely fixed to a main surface on the positive direction side of the insulator layer in the z axis direction. The ground conductors and the signal line define a stripline structure. The laminated body is inflected so that the insulator layer is located on an inner periphery side, compared with a location of the insulator layer.
