Abstract

An image pickup apparatus includes, between a first unit including an image pickup device and a second unit including a video processing circuit, a waveguide path through which a millimeter wave or a submillimeter wave is transmitted, the second unit includes a millimeter-wave carrier-wave generation circuit and a demodulator configured to regenerate, from a millimeter-wave modulated wave generated by the first unit and received through the waveguide path, a video signal generated by the image pickup device, and the first unit includes a processing-transmission circuit configured to receive a millimeter-wave carrier wave through the waveguide path, generate a millimeter-wave modulated wave by superimposing the video signal generated by the image pickup device on the millimeter-wave carrier wave, and transmit the millimeter-wave modulated wave toward the waveguide path.
