A coupling structure for coupling to a circuit portion (6) in a
coplanar-waveguide circuit (1) having ground conductors (2, 3) at both
sides is disclosed. A signal input/output line (4) is provided at the
center of the coplanar-waveguide circuit; and an inductive coupling
portion (5) having an end of the signal input/output line short-circuited
to one of the ground conductors and facing a part of the circuit portion
via a first gap is also provided.
