Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a wireless communication apparatus including a communication coupler and a circuit, a first substrate and a second substrate face each other in a longitudinal direction of the communication coupler. The first substrate includes a first signal line, a second signal line, a third signal line, a distributor, and a terminating resistor. At the distributor, the first signal line branches into the second signal line and the third signal line. The second signal line is terminated at the terminating resistor at an end of the first substrate. The second substrate includes a fourth signal line. At least one of the third signal line or the connection signal line is configured such that a phase of a signal at the facing portion of the second signal line and a phase of a signal at the facing portion of the fourth signal line are continuous.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A wireless communication apparatus comprising: a communication coupler including a plurality of substrates including a first substrate and a second substrate, and a connection signal line; and a circuit configured to transmit or receive a signal to or from the communication coupler, wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are opposed to each other in a longitudinal direction of the communication coupler, wherein the first substrate includes a first signal line, a second signal line, a third signal line, a distributor, and a terminating resistor, wherein at the distributor, the first signal line branches into the second signal line and the third signal line, wherein the second signal line is terminated at the terminating resistor at an end of the first substrate, wherein the second substrate includes a fourth signal line, wherein the connection signal line connects the third signal line and the fourth signal line, and wherein a facing portion of the second signal line and a facing portion of the fourth signal line are opposed to each other, and at least one of the third signal line or the connection signal line is configured such that a phase of a signal at the facing portion of the second signal line and a phase of a signal at the facing portion of the fourth signal line are continuous. 2. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the communication coupler is a transmission coupler configured to transmit a signal to a reception coupler included in another communication apparatus, and wherein the circuit generates the signal, and transmits the generated signal to the transmission coupler. 3. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the communication coupler is a reception coupler configured to receive a signal from a transmission coupler included in another communication apparatus, and wherein the circuit forms a signal waveform based on the signal received by the reception coupler.
