Usually, in the antenna circuit, when the antenna element 3 is a patch antenna as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the Q value of the antenna circuit increases in proportion to the relative permittivity of the first dielectric substrate, and It has the property of becoming smaller in inverse proportion to the thickness d of the substrate. If this Q value becomes small, the directivity is disturbed, so the Q value is preferably large. However, if the Q value is too large, the frequency band becomes narrow. Here, if the permittivity of the dielectric substrate is made too large in order to increase the Q value, the difference from the permittivity of air becomes large, so that electromagnetic waves easily propagate on the surface of the dielectric substrate, and the electromagnetic wave is transmitted to the antenna surface. It becomes difficult to be radiated to the space in the vertical direction. On the other hand, the radiation efficiency tends to increase as the dielectric constant decreases and the thickness d of the dielectric substrate increases.

From this point of view, therefore, in the present invention, the relative dielectric constant of the first dielectric substrate 2 in the antenna circuit substrate A is preferably 2 to 10 and the thickness of the dielectric substrate (see FIG. 1). From patch antenna 3 to slot 6
It is appropriate that (distance to) is 0.03λ 0 to 0.06λ 00 is a wavelength in vacuum). That is, when the relative permittivity is lower than 2 or the thickness is thicker than 0.06λ 0 , the Q value is small, and the relative permittivity is higher than 10 or the thickness is 0.0.

On the other hand, the line width of the transmission line 11 and the transmission line 16 connected to the high frequency device 9 is preferably 50 to 300 μm. This is because if the line width is smaller than 50 μm, it is difficult to form a highly reliable line in view of printing technology, manufacturing yield, etc., and if it exceeds 300 μm, the circuit itself becomes large. Therefore, the relative permittivity of the second dielectric substrate 7 in the high frequency device circuit is appropriately 5 to 50. For example, in the case of a microstrip line, when the relative permittivity is less than 5, the line width must be larger than 300 μm or the dielectric thickness must be smaller than 180 μm in order to make the characteristic impedance 50Ω. In the former case, the circuit itself becomes large, and in the latter case, it is too thin and not suitable for mass production using the tape multilayer technique.

This is because it is difficult to form a highly reliable line in the former case, and the package itself becomes thicker in the latter case, which is not suitable.
