A plane filter includes a dielectric substrate, a filter part provided on the dielectric substrate, and an input/output line connected to the filter part on the dielectric substrate. The filter part and the input/output line are provided on a front surface of the dielectric substrate. The dielectric substrate includes first and second regions. The filter part is provided in the first region, and the input/output line is provided in the second region. The first region having a first thickness in a first direction toward the front surface from a back surface at a side opposite to the front surface. The second region having a second thickness in the first direction, the second thickness being less than the first thickness. The back surface includes a step corresponding to a difference between the first thickness and the second thickness.

A coaxial microstrip line conversion circuit includes a housing part including a protrusion protruding into the interior, a microstrip line substrate, a coaxial line including central and ground conductor parts, and a solder layer. The microstrip line substrate includes a microstrip line, a dielectric body having a recess cut into a lower surface, and a ground conductive part bent along the cut surface. The microstrip line substrate is mounted to a bottom surface of the housing part so that the recess and the protrusion fit together. A vertical distance between a lowest position of the ground conductor part facing the central conductor part and a ground surface of the ground conductive part adjacent to the cut surface is less than a vertical distance between the lowest position and a ground surface of the ground conductive part adjacent to a region of the dielectric body where the recess is not provided.
