Electric wave transmitting/receiving module and imaging sensor having electric wave transmitting/receiving module

An electric wave transmitting/receiving module comprising:

• a waveguide including a conductive member and an opening, wherein the conductive member is disposed on an inner periphery of the opening of the waveguide, and wherein the opening of the waveguide faces a transmitting side of a transmitting electric wave and/or a receiving side of a receiving electric wave;
• a dielectric substrate perpendicular to a transmitting direction of the transmitting electric wave and/or a receiving direction of the receiving electric wave, and disposed on a side opposite to the opening of the waveguide;
• and
• transmitting/receiving means for transmitting the transmitting electric wave and/or for receiving the receiving electric wave, wherein
• the transmitting/receiving means includes a core line, a transmitting/receiving element, and a wire,
• the core line is horizontally disposed on the dielectric substrate,
• the core line transmits the transmitting electric wave and/or receives the receiving electric wave,
• the transmitting/receiving element is horizontally disposed on the substrate,
• the transmitting/receiving element outputs a transmitting/receiving signal corresponding to the transmitting electric wave and/or the receiving electric wave, and
• the wire sends the transmitting/receiving signal from the transmitting/receiving element to an external circuit.
