[0037] <Details of the First Line 10 and the Second Line 20> FIG. 2 is a planar perspective view of a main part of the wiring board according to the first embodiment seen from above. FIGS. 3A to 3C are cross-sectional views showing the third, fourth, and fifth to tenth layers, respectively, of the main part of FIG. 2. FIGS. 4A to 4C are cross-sectional views showing the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth layers, respectively, of the main part of FIG. 2. FIG. 5A is a cross-sectional view showing the fourteenth layer of the main part of FIG. 2. FIG. 5B is a diagram showing the back surface of the main part of FIG. 2. FIG. 5B depicts the back surface seen from above. FIG. 6A is a vertical cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 3B, FIG. 6B is a vertical cross-sectional view taken along line BB of FIG. 3B, FIG. 6C is a vertical cross-sectional view taken along line CC of FIG. 5A, and FIG. 6D is a vertical cross-sectional view taken along line DD of FIG. 5A.
[0038] In the following description, the first surface S1 (FIG. 1B) side will be referred to as the "upper side" and the second surface S2 side as the "lower side" in the thickness direction of the wiring board 1. In addition, in the direction in which the parallel line conductors (H1, H2) extend, the side where the third electrode T3 and the fourth electrode T4 are located will be referred to as the "left side," and the side where the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2 are located will be referred to as the "right side."
[0039] The distance between the first conductor L1 and the third conductor L3 may gradually increase toward the right (FIG. 3B). The distance between the second conductor L2 and the fourth conductor L4 may gradually decrease toward the right (FIG. 4B). With this configuration, the distance between the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4 is narrower than the distance between the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3 (FIGS. 6B and 6C). This increases the inductance components of the first line 10 and the second line 20 near the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2. This large inductance component cancels out the capacitance components of the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2, resulting in excellent signal transmission characteristics from low to high frequencies.
[0040] The first conductor L1 and the third conductor L3 may have a configuration in which the distance between them increases toward the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3 in a plan view. That is, the first conductor L1 may have, in a plan view, an arc or a circle convex toward the third conductor L3, an arc or a circle concave toward the third conductor L3, a broken line bent at a right angle or a certain angle at one or more locations, a stepped shape, or a combination of these shapes. Similarly, the third conductor L3 may have, in a plan view, an arc or a circle convex toward the first conductor L1, an arc or a circle concave toward the first conductor L1, a broken line bent at a right angle or a certain angle at one or more locations, a stepped shape, or a combination of these shapes.
[0041] Furthermore, the second conductor L2 and the fourth conductor L4 may have a configuration in which the distance between them decreases toward the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4 in a plan view. That is, the second conductor L2 may have, in a plan view, an arc or a circle convex toward the fourth conductor L4 side, an arc or a circle concave toward the fourth conductor L4 side, a broken line bent at a right angle or a certain angle at one or more locations, a stepped shape, or a combination of these shapes. Similarly, the fourth conductor L4 may have, in a plan view, an arc or a circle convex toward the second conductor L2 side, an arc or a circle concave toward the second conductor L2 side, a broken line bent at a right angle or a certain angle at one or more locations, a stepped shape, or a combination of these shapes.
[0042] In the above configuration, the distance between the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4 is smaller than the distance between the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3, and the inductance components of the first line 10 and the second line 20 can be increased near the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2. The large inductance components act to cancel out the capacitance components of the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2, thereby achieving good signal transmission characteristics from low frequencies to high frequencies.
[0043] The first and third conductors L1 and L3 may be spaced apart from the second and fourth conductors L2 and L4 (FIGS. 6B and 6C). According to this configuration, the first and third via conductors V1 and V3 are located on a layer above the second and fourth conductors L2 and L4, and the second and fourth via conductors V2 and V4 are located on a layer below the second and fourth conductors L2 and L4. Therefore, the portions with large inductance components (the second and fourth via conductors V2 and V4, which are closely spaced apart) are closer to the first and second electrodes T1 and T2, which tends to cancel out the capacitance components of the first and second electrodes T1 and T2. This allows for better signal transmission characteristics across a wide frequency range.
[0044] The first line conductor L1 and the third line conductor L3 may be located closer to the first surface S1 than the center in the thickness direction of the insulating substrate 2. The second line conductor L2 and the fourth line conductor L4 may be located closer to the second surface S2 than the center in the thickness direction of the insulating substrate 2. With this configuration, the widely spaced first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3 are located over a long range including the center in the vertical direction of the insulating substrate 2, while the closely spaced second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4 are located closer to the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2. Furthermore, the vertical lengths of the closely spaced second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4 are shorter than the vertical lengths of the widely spaced first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3. Therefore, the large inductance components associated with the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4 act to cancel out the capacitive components associated with the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2. On the other hand, it is possible to reduce the inductance component from interfering with impedance matching at locations distant from the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2, thereby achieving better signal transmission characteristics from low frequencies to high frequencies.
[0045] The plurality of ground film conductors 31 may include a first ground film conductor 31a having a first opening O1 (FIGS. 4A and 1B) and a second ground film conductor 31b having a second opening O2 (FIGS. 4B-5A and 1B). The first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3 may be located within the first opening O1, and the third via conductor V3 and the fourth via conductor V4 may be located within the second opening O2. The first opening O1 may be smaller than the second opening O2. According to this configuration, the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4, which have large inductance components, are located within the larger second opening O2, so that the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4 can be further separated from the ground potential. Therefore, the capacitance components of the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4, which have large inductance components, are reduced, and the effect of canceling out the capacitance components of the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2 is enhanced. Therefore, the impedance can be better matched, and better signal transmission characteristics can be obtained from low frequencies to high frequencies.
[0046] The first electrode T1, the second electrode T2, the plurality of first ground electrodes Tg1, and the plurality of second ground electrodes Tg2 may have larger areas than the third electrode T3 and the fourth electrode T4. With this configuration, the capacitance component increases near the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2, but the increase in inductance caused by the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3, which are arranged at close intervals, can offset this increase in capacitance component. Therefore, according to the wiring board 1 of the first embodiment, the first electrode T1, the second electrode T2, the plurality of first ground electrodes Tg1, and the plurality of second ground electrodes Tg2 can be enlarged without impairing the signal transmission characteristics, thereby improving the ease of mounting on the second surface S2 side.
[0047] In a planar perspective view, the center P1 of the first opening O1 (corresponding to the central portion) may be located between the center P2 of the second opening O2 (corresponding to the central portion) and the first and second parallel line conductors H1 and H2 (FIG. 2). With this configuration, the first and third via conductors V1 and V3 can be arranged near the center of the first opening O1, and the second and fourth via conductors V2 and V4 can be arranged near the center of the second opening O2. This allows impedance matching at the first opening O1 and the second opening O2, resulting in better signal transmission characteristics.
[0048] The second opening O2 of the ground film conductor 31 on the 14th layer y14 may be referred to as the third opening O3 (FIG. 5A). At least a portion of the n-th via conductor Vn connected to the first electrode T1 and the (n+1)-th via conductor Vn+1 connected to the second electrode T2 are located within the third opening O3. In the first embodiment, the third opening O3 has the same size and position as the second opening O2 located on a layer above the 14th layer y14 in a perspective plan view. However, the second opening O2 and the third opening O3 may differ in size and position in a perspective plan view. The third opening O3 may be larger than the first opening O1. The third opening O3 may be smaller, larger, or the same size as the second opening O2.
[0049] The first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3 may be located at the center of the first opening O1 in the left-right direction (corresponding to the X direction in the present disclosure). The nth via conductor Vn and the (n+1)th via conductor Vn+1 may be located at the center of the third opening O3 in the left-right direction. With this configuration, in the first opening O1 and the third opening O3, the ground conductors are located symmetrically with respect to the conductors through which signals are transmitted, thereby achieving better impedance matching.
[0050] Of the via conductors (i-th via conductor Vi, first via conductor V1, second via conductor V2, and n-th via conductor Vn) of the first line 10, the first via conductor counting from the side closest to the first electrode T1 is the n-th via conductor Vn, and the second via conductor is the second via conductor V2 (corresponding to the (n+2)th via conductor according to the present disclosure). Similarly, of the via conductors (i+1)th via conductor Vi+1, third via conductor V3, fourth via conductor V4, and n+1) via conductor Vn+1 of the second line 20, the first via conductor counting from the side closest to the second electrode T2 is the (n+1)th via conductor Vn+1, and the second via conductor is the fourth via conductor V4 (corresponding to the (n+3)th via conductor according to the present disclosure). Furthermore, the distance between the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4, which are the second closest to the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2, may be narrower than the distance between the nth via conductor Vn and the n+1th via conductor Vn+1, which are the first closest to the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2.
[0051] According to this configuration, the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4 (corresponding to the (n+2)th and (n+3)th via conductors according to the present disclosure) that are closely spaced can be arranged near the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2. Therefore, the large inductance components associated with the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4 act to cancel out the capacitance components associated with the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2. Meanwhile, the effect of the inductance components causing impedance mismatch at locations distant from the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2 can be reduced. Therefore, better signal transmission characteristics can be obtained from low to high frequencies. Furthermore, while increasing the areas of the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2, the nth via conductor Vn can be brought closer to the center of the first electrode T1, and the (n+1)th via conductor Vn+1 can be brought closer to the center of the second electrode T2. Therefore, better signal transmission characteristics can be obtained.
[0052] <Signal transmission characteristics> 7A and 7B are graphs showing the reflection loss and insertion loss of the wiring board 1 according to the first embodiment and the comparative example, respectively. The graphs in FIGS. 7A and 7B show simulation results for the wiring board 1 according to the first embodiment and the wiring board according to the comparative example. The wiring board according to the comparative example has a configuration in which the following components 1 to 4 are changed from the configuration of the first embodiment. Component 1: The second line conductor L2, the second via conductor V2, the nth line conductor Ln, the nth via conductor Vn, the fourth line conductor L4, the fourth via conductor V4, the n+1th line conductor Ln+1, and the n+1th via conductor Vn+1 are removed. Component 2: In a planar perspective view, the first via conductor V1 of the first embodiment is located at the center of the first electrode T1, and the first via conductor V1 extends to the first electrode T1. Component 3: In a planar perspective view, the second via conductor V2 is located at the center of the second electrode T2, and the second via conductor V2 extends to the second electrode T2. Element 4: In a planar perspective view, the center of the first opening O1, the center of the second opening O2, the center of the first via conductor V1, and the center of the second via conductor V2 overlap.
[0053] The simulation results in Figures 7A and 7B show that, compared to the comparative example, the reflection loss of the wiring board 1 of embodiment 1 is small even in high frequency bands, and the insertion loss of embodiment 1 is small even in high frequency bands, and therefore good signal transmission characteristics can be obtained from low to high frequencies.
[0054] The wiring board 1 of the first embodiment has been described above with reference to the drawings. However, the wiring board 1 of the first embodiment is not limited to the configuration shown in the drawings. For example, in the wiring board 1, the distance between the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4 may be larger, the same as, or smaller than the distance between the first parallel line conductor H1 and the second parallel line conductor H2. Furthermore, the distance between the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3 may be larger, the same as, or smaller than the distance between the n-th via conductor Vn and the (n+1)-th via conductor Vn+1. Furthermore, in the first embodiment, an example has been shown in which the second line conductor L2 and the fourth line conductor L4 are located on the twelfth layer y12, and the n-th line conductor Ln and the (n+1)-th line conductor Ln+1 are located on the fourteenth layer y14. However, the second line conductor L2 and the fourth line conductor L4 may be located on any of the eighth layer y8 to the thirteenth layer y13, and the nth line conductor Ln and the (n+1)th line conductor Ln+1 may be located on any of the ninth layer y9 to the thirteenth layer y13, which is a layer below the second line conductor L2 and the fourth line conductor L4. In the first embodiment, the first line 10 and the second line 20 are connected between the first parallel line conductor H1 and the second parallel line conductor H2. top and bottom Although an example of plane symmetry with respect to a plane extending in the vertical and horizontal directions has been shown, it is also possible to have portions that are not plane symmetric. Furthermore, instead of the stripline structure described in the first embodiment, a so-called microstripline structure may be used in which the third electrode T3 is connected to the ith line conductor Li and the first parallel line conductor H1 on the first surface S1 except for the ith via conductor Vi, and similarly the fourth electrode T4 is connected to the (i+1)th line conductor Li+1 and the second parallel line conductor H2 on the first surface S1 except for the (i+1)th via conductor Vi+1. This also applies to the second embodiment described below.

[0056] The wiring board 1A of embodiment 2 includes an insulating substrate 2, a first line 10A and a second line 20A located on the insulating substrate 2 and adjacent to each other, and a plurality of ground film conductors 31 and a plurality of ground via conductors 32 located on the insulating substrate 2 and surrounding the first line 10A and the second line 20A.
[0057] The first line 10A is similar to the first line 10 of embodiment 1 from the third electrode T3 to the second conductor L2 and from the first electrode T1 to the n-th conductor Ln. The second line 20A is similar to the second line 20 of embodiment 1 from the fourth electrode T4 to the fourth conductor L4 and from the second electrode T2 to the (n+1)th conductor Ln+1. Similar components are denoted by the same reference numerals as in embodiment 1, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
[0058] The first line 10A may include a second via conductor V2, a fifth via conductor L5, a fifth via conductor V5, a sixth via conductor L6, and a sixth via conductor V6 between the second conductor L2 and the nth conductor Ln. The right portion of the second conductor L2 may be connected to the upper portion of the second via conductor V2, the lower portion of the second via conductor V2 may be connected to the left portion of the fifth conductor L5, and the right portion of the fifth conductor L5 may be connected to the upper portion of the fifth via conductor V5. Furthermore, the left portion of the sixth conductor L6 may be connected to the lower portion of the fifth via conductor V5, the right portion of the sixth conductor L6 may be connected to the upper portion of the sixth via conductor V6, and the lower portion of the sixth via conductor V6 may be connected to the left portion of the nth conductor Ln. The above right portion, left portion, upper portion, and lower portion may be rephrased as the right end, left end, upper end, and lower end, respectively.
[0059] The second line 20A may include a fourth via conductor V4, a seventh line conductor L7, a seventh via conductor V7, an eighth line conductor L8, and an eighth via conductor V8 between the fourth line conductor L4 and the (n+1)th line conductor Ln+1. The right portion of the fourth line conductor L4 may be connected to the upper portion of the fourth via conductor V4, the lower portion of the fourth via conductor V4 may be connected to the left portion of the seventh line conductor L7, and the right portion of the seventh line conductor L7 may be connected to the upper portion of the seventh via conductor V7. Furthermore, the left portion of the eighth line conductor L8 may be connected to the lower portion of the seventh via conductor V7, the right portion of the eighth line conductor L8 may be connected to the upper portion of the eighth via conductor V8, and the lower portion of the eighth via conductor V8 may be connected to the left portion of the (n+1)th line conductor Ln+1. The above right portion, left portion, upper portion, and lower portion may be rephrased as the right end, left end, upper end, and lower end, respectively.
[0060] The second conductor L2 and the fourth conductor L4 (FIG. 10B) may be located on the eleventh layer y11, with the distance therebetween gradually narrowing toward the right. The fifth conductor L5 and the seventh conductor L7 (FIG. 10C) may be located on the twelfth layer y12, with the distance therebetween gradually widening toward the right. The sixth conductor L6 and the eighth conductor L8 (FIG. 11A) may be located on the thirteenth layer y13, with the distance therebetween gradually narrowing toward the right. With this configuration, the distance between the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4 is narrower than the distance between the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3, and the inductance component can be increased in the area of the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4. Furthermore, the distance between the sixth via conductor V6 and the eighth via conductor V8 is narrower than the distance between the fifth via conductor V5 and the seventh via conductor V7, and the inductance component can be increased in the sixth via conductor V6 and the eighth via conductor V8. Therefore, the large inductance component cancels out the capacitance component of the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2, thereby achieving good signal transmission characteristics from low to high frequencies.
[0061] Furthermore, with the above configuration, the wiring board 1A has multiple locations where the spacing between the via conductors can be narrowed (the spacing between the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4, and the spacing between the sixth via conductor V6 and the eighth via conductor V8). This increases the degree of freedom in adjusting impedance when designing the wiring board 1A. This facilitates impedance matching, making it easier to achieve good signal transmission characteristics.
[0062] The second conductor L2 and the fourth conductor L4 may have a configuration in which the distance between them decreases toward the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4 in a plan view. That is, the second conductor L2 may have an arc or circular convex shape toward the fourth conductor L4 side, an arc or circular convex shape toward the fourth conductor L4 side, a broken line shape bent at a right angle or a certain angle at one or more locations, a stepped shape, or a combination of these shapes in a plan view. Similarly, the fourth conductor L4 may have an arc or circular convex shape toward the second conductor L2 side, an arc or circular convex shape toward the second conductor L2 side, an arc or circular convex shape toward the second conductor L2 side, a broken line shape bent at a right angle or a certain angle at one or more locations, a stepped shape, or a combination of these shapes in a plan view.
[0063] Furthermore, the fifth conductor L5 and the seventh conductor L7 may have a configuration in which the distance between them increases toward the fifth via conductor V5 and the seventh via conductor V7 in a plan view. That is, the fifth conductor L5 may have, in a plan view, an arc or a circle convex toward the seventh conductor L7, an arc or a circle concave toward the seventh conductor L7, a broken line bent at a right angle or a certain angle at one or more locations, a stepped shape, or a combination of these shapes. Similarly, the seventh conductor L7 may have, in a plan view, an arc or a circle convex toward the fifth conductor L5, an arc or a circle concave toward the fifth conductor L5, a broken line bent at a right angle or a certain angle at one or more locations, a stepped shape, or a combination of these shapes.
[0064] Furthermore, the sixth conductor L6 and the eighth conductor L8 may have a configuration in which the distance between them becomes smaller toward the sixth via conductor V6 and the eighth via conductor V8 in a plan view. That is, the sixth conductor L6 may have, in a plan view, an arc or a circle convex toward the eighth conductor L8, an arc or a circle concave toward the eighth conductor L8, a broken line bent at a right angle or a certain angle at one or more locations, a stepped shape, or a combination of these shapes. Similarly, the eighth conductor L8 may have, in a plan view, an arc or a circle convex toward the sixth conductor L6, an arc or a circle concave toward the sixth conductor L6, a broken line bent at a right angle or a certain angle at one or more locations, a stepped shape, or a combination of these shapes.
[0065] Even in the above configuration, the distance between the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4 is narrower than the distance between the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3, thereby increasing the inductance component in the area between the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4. Furthermore, the distance between the sixth via conductor V6 and the eighth via conductor V8 is narrower than the distance between the fifth via conductor V5 and the seventh via conductor V7, thereby increasing the inductance component in the area between the sixth via conductor V6 and the eighth via conductor V8. Therefore, the large inductance component cancels out the capacitance component of the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2, thereby achieving good signal transmission characteristics from low to high frequencies. Furthermore, the degree of freedom in adjusting impedance during the design of the wiring board 1A is improved.
[0066] Of the via conductors of the first line 10A (the i-th via conductor Vi, the first via conductor V1, the second via conductor V2, the fifth via conductor V5, the sixth via conductor V6, and the n-th via conductor Vn), the first via conductor counting from the side closest to the first electrode T1 is the n-th via conductor Vn, and the second via conductor is the sixth via conductor V6 (corresponding to the (n+2)th via conductor according to the present disclosure). Similarly, of the via conductors of the second line 20A (the (i+1)th via conductor Vi+1, the third via conductor V3, the fourth via conductor V4, the seventh via conductor V7, the eighth via conductor V8, and the (n+1)th via conductor Vn+1), the first via conductor counting from the side closest to the second electrode T2 is the (n+1)th via conductor Vn+1, and the second via conductor is the eighth via conductor V8 (corresponding to the (n+3)th via conductor according to the present disclosure). Furthermore, the distance between the sixth via conductor V6 and the eighth via conductor V8, which are second from the side closest to the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2, may be narrower than the distance between the nth via conductor Vn and the n+1th via conductor Vn+1, which are first from the side closest to the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2.
[0067] According to this configuration, the sixth via conductor V6 and the eighth via conductor V8 (corresponding to the (n+2)th and (n+3)th via conductors according to the present disclosure) that are closely spaced can be arranged close to the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2. Therefore, the large inductance components associated with the sixth via conductor V6 and the eighth via conductor V8 act to cancel out the capacitance components associated with the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2. On the other hand, the large inductance components associated with the sixth via conductor V6 and the eighth via conductor V8 can be prevented from interfering with impedance matching at locations distant from the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2. Therefore, better signal transmission characteristics can be obtained from low frequencies to high frequencies.
[0068] Similar to the first embodiment, the plurality of ground film conductors 31 are located on the second layer y2 to the fourteenth layer y14 of the insulating substrate 2. Furthermore, the openings Oi and Oh included in the plurality of ground film conductors 31 are similar to those of the first embodiment. Furthermore, the plurality of ground film conductors 31 according to the second embodiment may include a first ground film conductor 31a having a first opening O1 (FIGS. 8B, 9C, 10A), a second ground film conductor 31b having a second opening O2 (FIGS. 8B, 10B-11A), and a third ground film conductor 31c having a third opening O3 (FIGS. 8B, 11B).
[0069] The first opening O1 may be located in a layer (the fifth layer y5 to the tenth layer y10) through which the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3 pass or are located. The second opening O2 may be located in a layer (the eleventh layer y11 to the thirteenth layer y13) through which the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4, the fifth via conductor V5 and the seventh via conductor V7, the sixth via conductor V6 and the eighth via conductor V8 pass or are located. The third opening O3 may be located in a layer (the fourteenth layer y14) one layer above the layer on which the electrodes (T1, T2, Tg1, Tg2) are located.
[0070] The first opening O1 may have a size that achieves impedance matching in the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3.
[0071] The third opening O3 may have a size corresponding to the arrangement of the multiple first ground electrodes Tg1 and the multiple second ground electrodes Tg2 so that the multiple first ground electrodes Tg1 and the multiple second ground electrodes Tg2 can be connected to the third ground film conductor 31c via the multiple ground via conductors 32.
[0072] The second opening O2 may be larger than the first opening O1. The second opening O2 may be larger than the third opening O3, may be the same size as the third opening O3, or may be smaller than the third opening O3.
[0073] Because the second opening O2 is larger than the first opening O1, the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4, and the sixth via conductor V6 and the eighth via conductor V8, which have large inductance components, can be further separated from the ground potential. Therefore, the capacitance components of the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4, and the sixth via conductor V6 and the eighth via conductor V8 become smaller, and the effect of canceling out the capacitance components of the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2 becomes stronger.
[0074] In a planar perspective view (FIG. 8A), the center P1 of the first opening O1 (corresponding to the central portion) may be located between the center P2 of the second opening O2 (corresponding to the central portion) and the first and second parallel line conductors H1 and H2. With this configuration, the first and third via conductors V1 and V3 can be arranged near the center of the first opening O1, and the second and fourth via conductors V2 and V4 can be arranged near the center of the second opening O2. This allows impedance matching at the first opening O1 and the second opening O2 to be achieved, resulting in better signal transmission characteristics.
[0075] In a planar perspective view (FIG. 8A), the center P2 of the second opening O2 may be located between the center P3 of the third opening O3 and the center P1 of the first opening O1. With this configuration, the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductors V4 to V8 can be arranged near the center of the second opening O2, and the nth via conductor Vn and the (n+1)th via conductor Vn+1 can be arranged near the center of the third opening O3. This allows impedance matching at the second opening O2 and the third opening O3 to be achieved, resulting in better signal transmission characteristics.
[0076] The first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3 may be located at the center of the first opening O1 in the left-right direction (corresponding to the X direction in the present disclosure). The nth via conductor Vn and the (n+1)th via conductor Vn+1 may be located at the center of the third opening O3 in the left-right direction. With this configuration, in the first opening O1 and the third opening O3, the ground conductors are located symmetrically with respect to the conductors through which signals are transmitted, thereby achieving better impedance matching.
[0077] The wiring board 1A of the second embodiment has been described above with reference to the drawings. However, the wiring board 1A of the second embodiment is not limited to the configuration shown in the drawings. For example, in the wiring board 1A, the distance between the first parallel line conductor H1 and the second parallel line conductor H2, the distance between the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4, and the distance between the sixth via conductor V6 and the eighth via conductor V8 may all be the same, all different, or some may be the same and the rest different. The order of the sizes of the above three distances may be any order. Furthermore, in the wiring board 1A, the distance between the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3, the distance between the fifth via conductor V5 and the seventh via conductor V7, and the distance between the nth via conductor Vn and the (n+1)th via conductor Vn+1 may all be the same, all different, or some may be the same and the rest different. The order of the sizes of the above three distances may be any order.
[0078] (Embodiment 3) Fig. 15A is a planar perspective view showing a wiring board according to embodiment 3 of the present disclosure, Fig. 15B is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the wiring board according to embodiment 3 cut along a signal line, and Fig. 16 is a planar perspective view of a main part of the wiring board according to embodiment 3 seen from above.
[0079] The wiring board 1B of the third embodiment is an example in which, in a plan view, the center P1 (corresponding to the central portion) of the first opening O1B is located to the right of the center P2 (corresponding to the central portion) of the second opening O2B. The wiring board 1B of the third embodiment differs from the first or second embodiment mainly in the relative arrangement of the first and second openings O1B and O2B, and the paths of the first and second lines 10B and 20B, but other elements may be similar to those of the first or second embodiment.
[0080] As described above, in a plan view, the center P1 of the first opening O1B is O2BThe center P2 of the second opening O2B may be located to the right of the center P2 of the first opening O1B. In other words, in a plan view, the center P2 of the second opening O2B may be located between the center P1 of the first opening O1B and the point P11 on the parallel line side. The point P11 on the parallel line side refers to the center P11 of the intersection between the edge of the second opening O2B and the first parallel line conductor H1 and the intersection between the edge of the second opening O2B and the second parallel line conductor H2. The first parallel line conductor H1 and the second parallel line conductor H2 may be parallel. The first parallel line conductor H1 and the second parallel line conductor H2 may be straight or partially curved. Even when the above arrangement is adopted, good signal transmission characteristics can be obtained from low frequencies to high frequencies.
[0081] In order to realize the above-described arrangement of the first opening O1B, the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3 are arranged in a plane view such that the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V3 are arranged in a plane view such that ... conductor The nth via conductor Vn and the n+1th via conductor Vn+1 are located to the right of the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4. As in the first and second embodiments, the distance between the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3 is wider than the distance between the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4. Furthermore, in a plan view, the nth via conductor Vn and the n+1th via conductor Vn+1 are located to the left of the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4. The distance between the nth via conductor Vn and the n+1th via conductor Vn+1 is wider than the distance between the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4.
[0082] The second conductor L2 and the fourth conductor L4 extend between the lower end of the first via conductor V1 and the upper end of the second via conductor V2, and between the lower end of the third via conductor V3 and the upper end of the fourth via conductor V4, respectively. That is, the second conductor L2 and the fourth conductor L4 extend so that the distance between them narrows toward the left. Furthermore, the nth conductor Ln and the (n+1)th conductor Ln+1 extend between the lower end of the third via conductor V3 and the upper end of the nth via conductor Vn, and between the lower end of the fourth via conductor V4 and the (n+1)th Beer The nth line conductor Ln and the (n+1)th line conductor Ln+1 extend between the upper ends of the conductors Vn+1 and Vn+1, respectively.

[0083] In plan view, the first conductor L1 may overlap part or all of the second conductor L2, and the third conductor L3 may overlap part or all of the fourth conductor L4.
[0084] The wiring board 1B of the third embodiment also provides good signal transmission characteristics from low frequencies to high frequencies.
[0085] In the third embodiment, the first opening O1B and the second opening O2B each include two via conductors, two line conductors, and two step portions (see FIG. 15B) connected to the via conductors in the first line 10B and the second line 20B. However, four or more step portions may be included in each of the first and second lines. This configuration can also be configured such that the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3 are located to the right of the n-th via conductor Vn and the (n+1)-th via conductor Vn+1 in a plan view. This configuration can also achieve good signal transmission characteristics from low to high frequencies.
[0086] (Embodiment 4) Fig. 17A is a planar perspective view showing a wiring board according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 17B is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the wiring board according to the fourth embodiment cut along a signal line. Fig. 18 is a planar perspective view showing a main part of the wiring board according to the fourth embodiment seen from above. Figs. 19A to 19H are views showing the third, fourth, fifth to tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth layers and the back surface of the main part of Fig. 18.
[0087] The wiring board 1C of the fourth embodiment is an example in which, in a plan view, the center P1 (corresponding to the central portion) of the first opening O1C coincides with the center P2 (corresponding to the central portion) of the second opening O2C. "Coincidence" does not necessarily mean exact coincidence, but also includes cases in which the difference in position is equal to or less than the minimum diameter of the via conductor. The fourth embodiment differs from the first, second, and third embodiments mainly in the relative arrangement of the first opening O1C and the second opening O2C, and the paths of the first line 10C and the second line 20C, but other elements may be similar to the first, second, and third embodiments.
[0088] As described above, in a plan view, the center P1 of the first opening O1C is O2C Even when this arrangement is adopted, good signal transmission characteristics can be obtained from low frequencies to high frequencies.
[0089] In order to realize the above-described arrangement of the first opening O1C, the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V3 are conductor V4 is positioned offset in the left-right direction from the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3. As in the first and second embodiments, the distance between the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3 is wider than the distance between the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4. Furthermore, in a plan view, the n-th via conductor Vn and the (n+1)-th via conductor Vn+1 are positioned offset in the left-right direction from the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4, and are positioned so as to overlap with the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3, respectively. The distance between the n-th via conductor Vn and the (n+1)-th via conductor Vn+1 is wider than the distance between the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4.
[0090] The second line conductor L2 and the fourth line conductor L4 extend between the lower end of the first via conductor V1 and the upper end of the second via conductor V2, and between the lower end of the third via conductor V3 and the upper end of the fourth via conductor V4, respectively. That is, the second line conductor L2 and the fourth line conductor L4 extend so that the distance between them becomes narrower as they approach the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4. Furthermore, the nth line conductor Ln and the (n+1)th line conductor Ln+1 extend between the lower end of the second via conductor V2 and the upper end of the nth via conductor Vn, and between the lower end of the fourth via conductor V4 and the (n+1)th line conductor Ln+1. Beer That is, the nth line conductor Ln and the n+1st line conductor Ln+1 extend so that the spacing between them becomes wider as they approach the nth via conductor Vn and the n+1st via conductor Vn+1.
[0091] In plan view, the second conductor L2 may overlap part or all of the n-th conductor Ln, and the fourth conductor L4 may overlap part or all of the (n+1)-th conductor Ln+1.

However, a configuration in which four or more step portions are included in each of the first and second lines 10C and 20C and the n-th and n+1-th via conductors Vn and Vn+1 overlap with the first and second via conductors V1 and V2 in plan view may also be employed. Even with this configuration, good signal transmission characteristics can be obtained from low to high frequencies.
[0094] (Embodiment 5) Fig. 20A is a plan perspective view showing a wiring board according to a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure, and Fig. 20B is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the wiring board according to the fifth embodiment taken along a signal line.

Furthermore, the wiring board 1D of the fifth embodiment is an example in which, in the first opening O1D, the first line 10D and the second line 20D each include four via conductors, line conductors, and step portions (see FIG. 20B) connected to the via conductors. The fifth embodiment differs from the first, second, and third embodiments mainly in the relative arrangement of the first opening O1D and the second opening O2D and the paths of the first line 10D and the second line 20D, but other elements may be similar to the first, second, and third embodiments.
[0096] As described above, in a plan view, the center P1 of the first opening O1D is O2D Even when this arrangement is adopted, good signal transmission characteristics can be obtained from low frequencies to high frequencies.
[0097] As in the wiring board 1D of embodiment 5, the first via conductor V1, the fifth via conductor V5, and the n-th via conductor Vn may overlap in a planar view. Similarly, the third via conductor V3, the seventh via conductor V7, and the (n+1)-th via conductor Vn+1 may overlap in a planar view. Furthermore, the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4 may be positioned offset from the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3 in the left-right direction in a planar view. The distance between the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4 may be narrower than the distance between the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3.
[0098] Furthermore, the sixth via conductor V6 and the eighth via conductor V8 may be positioned offset in the left-right direction from the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3. The sixth via conductor V6 and the eighth via conductor V8 may be positioned offset on the opposite side in the left-right direction from the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4. The distance between the sixth via conductor V6 and the eighth via conductor V8 may be narrower than the distance between the first via conductor V1 and the third via conductor V3.
[0099] The second conductor L2 and the fourth conductor L4 extend between the lower end of the first via conductor V1 and the upper end of the second via conductor V2, and between the lower end of the third via conductor V3 and the upper end of the fourth via conductor V4, respectively. That is, the second conductor L2 and the fourth conductor L4 extend such that the distance between them decreases as they approach the second via conductor V2 and the fourth via conductor V4. Furthermore, the fifth conductor L5 and the seventh conductor L7 extend between the lower end of the second via conductor V2 and the upper end of the fifth via conductor V5, and between the lower end of the fourth via conductor V4 and the upper end of the seventh via conductor V7, respectively. That is, the distance between them increases as they approach the fifth via conductor V5 and the seventh via conductor V7.
[0100] In plan view, the second conductor L2 may overlap part or all of the fifth conductor L5, and the fourth conductor L4 may overlap part or all of the seventh conductor L7.
[0101] Furthermore, the sixth line conductor L6 and the eighth line conductor L8 extend between the lower end of the fifth via conductor V5 and the upper end of the sixth via conductor V6, and between the lower end of the seventh via conductor V7 and the upper end of the eighth via conductor V8, respectively. That is, the sixth line conductor L6 and the eighth line conductor L8 extend such that the distance between them becomes narrower as they are closer to the sixth via conductor V6 and the eighth via conductor V8. Furthermore, the nth line conductor Ln and the (n+1)th line conductor Ln+1 extend between the lower end of the sixth via conductor V6 and the upper end of the nth via conductor Vn, and between the lower end of the eighth via conductor V8 and the upper end of the (n+1)th via conductor Vn+1, respectively. That is, the nth line conductor Ln and the (n+1)th line conductor Ln+1 extend such that the distance between them becomes wider as they are closer to the nth via conductor Vn and the (n+1)th via conductor Vn+1.
[0102] In plan view, the sixth conductor L6 may overlap part or all of the nth conductor Ln, and the eighth conductor L8 may overlap part or all of the (n+1)th conductor Ln+1.
