Radio frequency module and communication device

A communication device, comprising:

• the radio frequency module;
• and
• a signal processing circuit configured to process a reception signal from the radio frequency module, wherein the radio frequency module comprising
• a mounting board,
• a low noise amplifier mounted on the mounting board,
• a reception filter connected to the low noise amplifier,
• an input matching circuit provided on a signal path between the reception filter and the low noise amplifier, the input matching circuit including at least one inductor,
• a first columnar electrode that connects to the low noise amplifier and extends into the mounting board in a thickness direction of the mounting board,
• a second columnar electrode that connects to the input matching circuit and extends into the mounting board in the thickness direction of the mounting board, and
• a conductive pattern that interconnects the first columnar electrode to the second columnar electrode and extends substantially parallel to a surface of the mounting board at a predetermined depth within the mounting board so as to suppress a parasitic capacitance between the low noise amplifier and the at least one inductor in the input matching circuit and corresponding noise figure of the low noise amplifier,
• wherein the reception filter is disposed on the low noise amplifier, and
• the at least one inductor included in the input matching circuit is adjacent to the low noise amplifier such that no other circuit element is present between the low noise amplifier and the at least one inductor included in the input matching circuit.
