## Abstract

Provided is a structure including at least: a first conductor plane; a second conductor plane disposed so as to face the first conductor plane; a first transmission line that is formed in a layer different from the first conductor plane and the second conductor plane and is disposed so as to face the second conductor plane, one end of the first transmission line being an open end; a conductor via that connects another end of the first transmission line with the first conductor plane; a slit that is formed on the second conductor plane and stretches to both sides of the first transmission line from a starting point where the slit overlaps the first transmission line in a plan view. Thus, a structure that enables formation of a compact EBG structure is provided.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A structure comprising:
a first conductor plane;
a second conductor plane that faces the first conductor plane;
a first transmission line that is formed in a layer different from the first conductor plane and the second conductor plane and faces the second conductor plane, one end of the first transmission line being an open end;
a conductor via that connects another end of the first transmission line with the first conductor plane; and
a slit that is formed on the second conductor plane and stretches to both sides of the first transmission line from a starting point where the slit overlaps the first transmission line in a plan view.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The structure according to claim 1, wherein the first conductor plane, the second conductor plane, the first transmission line, the conductor via, and the slit constitute an EBG (Electromagnetic Band Gap) structure.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The structure according to claim 1, wherein a slit length of the slit is twice or more as long as a transmission line length of the first transmission line.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The structure according to claim 1, wherein when the transmission line length of the first transmission line is represented by D, the first transmission line overlaps the slit in a plan view at least at a location within a range of (D/8) or less from a node between the first transmission line and the conductor via.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The structure according to claim 1, wherein a distance between the second conductor plane and the first transmission line is equal to or less than a half (½) of a distance between the first conductor plane and the first transmission line.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)
