Abstract

A signal transmission device including a signal wiring, a wide wiring that is formed continuously with one and the other of the signal wirings and has a wiring width larger than a wiring width of at least the one or the other of the signal wirings, a power wiring to which a signal/power separation filter is connected via a branch wiring branching from the wide wiring, and an open stub wiring that is connected to the branch wiring and has an open tip.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A signal transmission device comprising:
a signal wiring;
a wide wiring that is formed continuously with the signal wiring and has a wiring width larger than a wiring width of the signal wiring;
a branch wiring that is branched from the wide wiring;
a signal/power separation filter that is connected to the branch wiring;
a power wiring that is connected to the branch wiring via the signal/power separation filter; and
an open stub wiring that is connected to the branch wiring and has an open tip.

2. The signal transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein
a ground wiring pattern through which return current flows is provided adjacent to the signal wiring on a side opposite to the branch wiring.

3. The signal transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein
the open stub wiring includes a plurality of the open stub wirings having different lengths.

4. The signal transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein
the signal wiring is connected between a transmission unit that transmits a signal from a camera and a receiving unit that receives a signal from the camera, and
power is supplied to the camera through the power wiring and the signal wiring.

5. The signal transmission device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a first signal transmission circuit including a first signal wiring, a first wide wiring, a first open stub wiring, and a first power wiring; and
a second signal transmission circuit including a second signal wiring, a second wide wiring, a second open stub wiring, and a second power wiring, wherein
the first signal transmission circuit and the second signal transmission circuit are symmetrically arranged such that the first signal wiring and the second signal wiring are adjacent to each other.

6. The signal transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein
a wiring width of the wide wiring is at least twice or more a wiring width of the signal wiring.

7. The signal transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein
a wide portion of the wide wiring has a trapezoidal shape protruding toward a side of the power wiring.

8. The signal transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein
a length of a wide portion of the wide wiring is shorter than a wavelength corresponding to time that is 1/10 of a period of a signal transmitted through the signal wiring.

9. The signal transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein
power is supplied from a camera unit to a control unit via a coaxial cable,
a signal is transmitted and received between the camera unit and the control unit via the coaxial cable, and
the signal wiring, the wide wiring, and the open stub wiring are formed on a substrate of at least one of the camera unit and the control unit.

10. The signal transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein
the open stub wiring has a first end side connected to the branch wiring between the wide wiring and the signal/power separation filter and a tip of a second end side opposite the first end side is open.

11. The signal transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein
the signal wiring, the wide wiring, the branch wiring, and the open stub wiring are formed on a printed circuit board.

12. The signal transmission device according to claim 11 , wherein
a distance between the wide wiring and a ground wiring on a lower layer of the printed circuit board is longer than a distance between the signal wiring and a ground wiring on a lower layer of the printed circuit board.

13. The signal transmission device according to claim 11 , wherein
the open stub wiring is formed by a plurality of pieces of reciprocation between an uppermost layer and a lowermost layer of the printed circuit board using through holes connecting a wiring on the uppermost layer and a wiring on the lowermost layer.

14. The signal transmission device according to claim 13 , wherein
the open stub wiring is a combination of a plurality of open stub wirings in which lengths of the wirings and a total number of the through holes are different from each other.

15. A signal transmission device comprising:
a signal wiring;
a branch wiring that is branched from the signal wiring;
a signal/power separation filter that is connected to the branch wiring;
a power wiring that is connected to the branch wiring via the signal/power separation filter; and
an open stub wiring in which a first end side is connected to the branch wiring between the signal wiring and the signal/power separation filter and a tip of a second end side opposite the first end side is open.
