Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to determining the location and/or density of vias that form part of an RF isolation structure of a packaged module and the resulting RF isolation structures. From electromagnetic interference (EMI) data, locations of where via density can be increased and/or decreased without significantly degrading the EMI performance of the RF isolation structure can be identified. In certain embodiments, one or more vias can be added and/or removed from a selected area of the packaged module based on the EMI data.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A packaged module comprising: a substrate configured to receive at least one component; a radio frequency (RF) component coupled to a major surface of the substrate; a ground contact disposed below the RF component, the ground contact configured to receive a ground potential from external to the packaged module; a plurality of vias in the substrate, the plurality of vias disposed around the RF component, the plurality of vias having a higher density in…
