Abstract

There is provided a transmission method including transmitting a first signal and a second signal, which is generated in a different manner from the first signal, via one transmission path having a solid-state element.

Claims

1. A transmission method comprising:

transmitting a first signal and a second signal, which is generated in a different manner from the first signal, via one transmission path having a solid-state element.

2. The transmission method according to claim 1,

wherein the first signal is millimeter waves, and

wherein the second signal is light. 10

3. The transmission method according to claim 2, wherein the transmission path is a hollow waveguide, a film type optical waveguide surrounded by a dielectric material, or an optical fiber.

4. The transmission method according to claim 3, wherein the first and second signals are transmitted between two substrates each having a plate shape and being arranged on a single plane, via the transmission path which is arranged parallel to the two substrates.

5. The transmission method according to claim 3, wherein the first and second signals are transmitted between two substrates each having a plate shape and being arranged facing each other, via the transmission path which is arranged perpendicular to the two substrates.

6. A transmission system comprising:

a first transmission unit configured to transmit a first signal via one transmission path having a solid-state element;

a second transmission unit configured to transmit a second signal, which is generated in a different manner from the first signal, via the one transmission path; and

the one transmission path.
