Therefore, even if the distance between the signal line 20 and the auxiliary ground conductor 24 in the z-axis direction is reduced, the capacitance formed between the signal line 20 and the auxiliary ground conductor 24 does not become too large. Therefore, the characteristic impedance of the signal line 20 is unlikely to deviate from a predetermined characteristic impedance (for example, 50 ⁇ ).

More specifically, the high-frequency signal transmission line 10 is attached to the battery pack 206 so that the solid reference ground conductor 22 is located between the signal line 20 and the battery pack 206. As a result, the signal line 20 and the battery pack 206 do not face each other through the opening, and the formation of a capacitance between the signal line 20 and the battery pack 206 is suppressed. As a result, the high-frequency signal transmission line 10 is affixed to the battery pack 206, thereby suppressing the characteristic impedance of the signal line 20 from being lowered.
