Abstract
Aspects of this disclosure relate to methods of selectively shielded radio frequency modules. A radio frequency module can be provided with a radio frequency component and an antenna. A shielding layer can be formed over a portion of the radio frequency module such that the radio frequency component is shielded by the shielding layer and the antenna is unshielded by the shielding layer.
Claims20
A radio frequency module comprising:
- an antenna on a substrate, the antenna configured to wirelessly transmit a radio frequency signal;
- a radio frequency component on the substrate;
- and
- a radio frequency shielding structure including a shielding layer and a wire bond, the shielding layer positioned over the radio frequency component, the wire bond positioned between the radio frequency component and the antenna, and the wire bond extending farther vertically from the substrate than all parts of the antenna.

A system board assembly comprising:
- a packaged radio frequency module including a radio frequency component on a substrate, an antenna on the substrate and configured to wirelessly transmit a radio frequency signal, and a radio frequency shielding structure including a wire bond positioned between the radio frequency component and the antenna, and the wire bond extending farther vertically from the substrate than all parts of the antenna;
- and
- a system board on which the packaged radio frequency module is positioned, the system board including a ground contact electrically connected to the radio frequency shielding structure.
A wireless communication device comprising:
- a packaged radio frequency module including a radio frequency component on a substrate, an antenna on the substrate and configured to wirelessly transmit a radio frequency signal, and a radio frequency shielding structure including a wire bond positioned between the radio frequency component and the antenna, the wire bond extending farther vertically from the substrate than all parts of the antenna;
- and
- a transceiver in communication with the radio frequency component.
