RF component and method

A method of making a Radio Frequency, “RF”, component, the method comprising forming:

• a first electrically conductive signal member for conveying an RF signal;
• a second electrically conductive signal member for conveying an RF signal;
• and
• a barrier located between the first electrically conductive signal member and the second electrically conductive signal member electromagnetically to shield the first and second electrically conductive signal members from each other, wherein the barrier comprises:
• a first row of electrically conductive shielding members spaced apart along a longitudinal axis of the first row, wherein each electrically conductive shielding member in the first row comprises a polyhedron;
• and
• a second row of electrically conductive shielding members spaced apart along a longitudinal axis of the second row, wherein each electrically conductive shielding member in the second row comprises a polyhedron;
• and
• wherein the electrically conductive shielding members of the first row are offset with respect to the electrically conductive shielding members of the second row to prevent a direct line of sight between the first electrically conductive signal member and the second electrically conductive signal member.
