A transmission line apparatus includes: a substrate 101 with a ground
conductor plane; and first and second signal strips 102a, 102b supported
on the substrate 101 in parallel with each other. The apparatus further
includes at least one additional capacitance element 301 that connects
the first and second signal strips 102a, 102b together. The element 301
includes: a first additional conductor 303 spaced from the first signal
strip 102a; a second additional conductor 305 spaced from the second
signal strip 102b; and a third additional conductor 307 connected to the
first and second additional conductors 303, 305 at respective points.
When measured in a signal transmission direction, the smallest width W3a
of the third additional conductor 307 is shorter than the length L1 or L2
of the first or second additional conductor 303 or 305. And the
additional capacitance element 301 has a resonant frequency that is
higher than the frequency of a signal being transmitted.
