    摘要: A radio-frequency module includes: a module substrate having first and second main surfaces; a semiconductor IC having third and fourth main surfaces and mounted on the first main surface with the third main surface between the module substrate and the fourth main surface; and first and second electrodes extending perpendicularly to the first main surface. The cross-sectional area of the second electrodes is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the first electrodes. The semiconductor IC viewed in plan has first and second sides parallel to each other and third and fourth sides parallel to each other. The first electrodes are distributed over a first region between the first side and a side facing the first side and a second region between the second side and a side facing the second side. The second electrodes are in a third region between the third side and a side facing the third side.

    摘要: In a high-frequency module, a phase and amplitude of a high-frequency signal from a connection conductor between filter devices change due to the signal being transmitted by a takeout circuit unit. When the high-frequency signal at a third external connection terminal is a suppression signal and a high-frequency signal passing through the first filter circuit is a suppression-target signal, the transmission distance in the takeout circuit unit is such that the phase of the suppression signal is approximately inverted with respect to the phase of the suppression-target signal and the suppression signal has approximately the same amplitude as the suppression-target signal. The suppression signal is mixed with the suppression-target signal and components outside of the pass band are cancelled out and the attenuation characteristics of the filter circuit are enhanced.

    摘要: A high-frequency module (20) includes a reception-side filter (21) that uses a first frequency band as a pass band and a second frequency band as an attenuation band, an LNA (23), and a matching circuit (22) disposed between the reception-side filter (21) and the LNA (23). In a Smith chart, the matching circuit (22) makes an interval between impedance in the second frequency band of the reception-side filter (21) and a second gain circle center point indicating impedance at which gain in the second frequency band of the LNA (23) is maximized greater than an interval between impedance in the first frequency band of the reception-side filter (21) and a first gain circle center point indicating impedance at which gain in the first frequency band of the LNA (23) is maximized.
