Abstract:
1. A flat cable, comprising: a signal line extending in a longitudinal direction and having an outer periphery; a dielectric sheet extending in the longitudinal direction to surround the outer periphery of the signal line, the dielectric sheet having a dimension in a width direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction and a dimension in a thickness direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction; a pair of spaced apart ground layers extending in the longitudinal direction and sandwiching the dielectric sheet in the thickness direction; and a first insulator extending in the longitudinal direction to coat the pair of ground layers so that the pair of ground layers are not exposed to the outside, in which one end portion of the flat cable is configured so as to function as an antenna, and in which the signal line and the pair of ground layers extend to the antenna end portion.
