US 2016/0079952 A1 · RADIO-FREQUENCY MODULE COMPONENT

Abstract

A radio-frequency module component includes a splitter/combiner and a shield case. The splitter/combiner includes a multilayer body, a common input/output electrode, a low-band input/output electrode, a high-band input/output electrode, and outer ground electrodes. The multilayer body includes insulating layers and electrode patterns stacked on each other, and side surfaces opposed to each other. The common input/output electrode is disposed on one of the side surfaces and a bottom surface of the multilayer body. The low-band input/output electrode and the high-band input/output electrode are disposed on another of the side surfaces and the bottom surface of the multilayer body. An additional side surface of the multilayer body opposes a side surface of the shield case in the closest proximity to each other.
