Abstract

A filter which stops the propagation of an electromagnetic wave of a predetermined frequency band in a signal line or a power supply line is provided. This filter is a conductor connected to the signal line or the power supply line. This conductor is configured to include a linear portion. The first portion of the linear portion with an end portion connected to the signal line or the power supply line has the first width, and the second portion different from the first portion of the linear portion has the second width different from the first width.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A filter which suppresses propagation of an electromagnetic wave of a predetermined frequency band in one of a signal line and a power supply line, the filter comprising:
a first resonance conductor configured to resonate in a plurality of frequency bands connected or coupled to a first position of the one of the signal line and the power supply line; and
a second resonance conductor configured to resonate with a first frequency band out of the plurality of frequency bands, and connected or coupled to a second position away from the first position by a length corresponding to an electrical length when an electromagnetic wave of the first frequency band propagates through the one of the signal line and the power supply line,
wherein propagation of an electromagnetic wave of the plurality of frequency bands through the one of the signal line and the power supply line is suppressed.

2. The filter according to claim 1 , further comprising a third resonance conductor configured to resonate with a second frequency band different from the first frequency band out of the plurality of frequency bands, and connected or coupled to a third position away from the first position by a length corresponding to an electrical length when an electromagnetic wave of the second frequency band propagates through the one of the signal line and the power supply line.

3. The filter according to claim 2 , wherein the second position is a position away from the first position by a quarter of the electrical length when the electromagnetic wave of the first frequency band propagates through the one of the signal line and the power supply line, and
the third position is a position away from the first position by a quarter of the electrical length when the electromagnetic wave of the second frequency band propagates through the one of the signal line and the power supply line.

4. The filter according to claim 2 , wherein the third resonance conductor includes a linear portion formed in a layer, out of layers included in a substrate where the filter is formed, different from the layer of the one of the signal line and the power supply line.

5. The filter according to claim 2 , wherein a frequency range of the first frequency band is higher than a frequency range of the second frequency band, and the second position is placed between the first position and the third position.

6. The filter according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first resonance conductor and the second resonance conductor includes a linear portion formed in a layer, out of layers included in a substrate where the filter is formed, different from the layer of the one of the signal line and the power supply line.

7. The filter according to claim 6 , wherein at least a part of the linear portion is formed to be sandwiched by ground conductors arranged in an upper layer and a lower layer of the layer where the linear portion is formed.

8. The filter according to claim 1 , wherein the first resonance conductor includes a first conductor that is connected or coupled to the first position of the one of the signal line and the power supply line and a second conductor that is connected to a predetermined position of the first conductor.
