Radio frequency module with selectively shielded components
The granted patent (Publication Number: US12003025B2) discloses a radio frequency module comprising an antenna on a substrate, a radio frequency component, and a radio frequency shielding structure. The shielding structure includes a shielding layer and a wire bond positioned between the radio frequency component and the antenna, extending vertically farther from the substrate than all parts of the antenna. The module can be configured to receive wireless signals from a local area network or a personal area network, with the antenna printed on the substrate, which can be a laminate substrate with routing layers.
Furthermore, the patent also describes a system board assembly incorporating the radio frequency module, including a ground contact for electrical connection to the shielding structure. The assembly can include additional electronic components, with the shielding structure providing radio frequency shielding between the radio frequency component and these components. Additionally, a wireless communication device is detailed, featuring the packaged radio frequency module and a transceiver in communication with the radio frequency component. The device can transmit signals for personal area networks or local area networks, and can be classified as an Internet of Things device, showcasing the versatility and applicability of the patented technology in various wireless communication applications.
