Claim Text:
1. A signal transmission medium for transmitting EHF band signals from a first point to a second point, comprising: a first end at which a signal exchange with the first point takes place; a second end at which a signal exchange with the second point takes place; and a transmission line portion which is flexible and connects the first end and the second end, wherein the transmission line portion comprises: wherein the pair of grounding sheets are partially supported by flexible spacers made from insulating members, wherein spaces between the pair of grounding sheets and the spacers form cavities that surround the strip conductors, and wherein a signal probe tip is electrically connected to the strip conductors and grounding probe tips are electrically connected to the pair of grounding sheets and are exposed in at least one of the first end and the second end, wherein the signal probe tip and the grounding probe tips comprise a transmission medium conversion mechanism for leading a signal that is transmitted along the strip conductors to a different type of high frequency signal transmission medium, wherein the different type of high frequency signal transmission medium comprises a waveguide, and wherein the transmission medium conversion mechanism comprises a sheet opening formed by removing a part of the pair of grounding sheets that is sized the same as an opening in the waveguide, and an attaching portion which is attached to a flange of the waveguide.
