Abstract
A transmission line portion of a flat cable that is bent at a position along the longitudinal direction includes a dielectric element body, a first ground conductor, and a second ground conductor. The dielectric element body includes a signal conductor at the middle position of the thickness direction. The first ground conductor includes elongated conductors and bridge conductors. The elongated conductors are spaced in the width direction of the dielectric element body, and extend in the longitudinal direction. The bridge conductors connect the elongated conductors at spacings along the longitudinal direction. The spacing of bridge conductors across the bending point in a bent portion is smaller than the spacing of adjacent bridge conductors located in a straight portion.
