図2(A)、図2(B)は、第1の実施形態の高周波モジュールに対する比較例の(従来の一般的な設計方法での)高周波モジュール100A,100Bの主要部の断面図である。また、図3は第1の実施形態の高周波モジュール101の主要部の断面図である。
図4は第2の実施形態の高周波モジュール102のブロック構成図である。
第2の実施形態の高周波モジュール102は、多層基板とこの多層基板に搭載された高周波スイッチ31、デュプレクサ32a~32d、ダイプレクサ35,フィルタ34e,34f、整合用インダクタLa,Lb,Lc,Ld等を備えている。高周波スイッチ31はアンテナポートANT、入出力ポートP1~P7、電源端子Vdd、グランド端子GND、シリアルデータ入力端子SDATA、クロック信号入力端子SCLKおよびデジタル回路部用電源端子Vioを備えている。
図7(A)は第3の実施形態の高周波モジュール103の主要部の断面図、図7(B)はその比較対照としての、従来構造の高周波モジュール100Dの主要部の断面図である。
図8(A)は第4の実施形態の高周波モジュール104の主要部の断面図、図8(B)はその比較対照としての、従来構造の高周波モジュール100Eの主要部の断面図である。
図9は第5の実施形態の高周波モジュール105の断面図である。図10はこの高周波モジュール105の分解平面図である。この高周波モジュールは、多層基板とその多層基板に搭載された高周波スイッチおよび整合用インダクタで構成されている。図10の(1)~(20)はその多層基板の各層の平面図である。(1)が最上層、(20)が最下層である。(1)に示す最上層には高周波スイッチが搭載される電極および整合用インダクタチップが搭載される電極が形成されている。(2)~(19)に示す各層には各種配線導体、各種グランド導体および層間接続導体(ビア導体)が形成されている。
以上のとおり多層構造を構成できる。
図11は第6の実施形態の高周波モジュールの分解平面図である。第5の実施形態ではシリアルデータ入力端子SDATAおよびクロック信号入力端子SCLKにそれぞれつながる配線導体や層間接続導体からの高調波ノイズの回り込みを防止する構造とした。第6の実施形態はクロック信号入力端子SCLKにつながる配線導体や層間接続導体からの高調波ノイズの回り込みを防止する構造である。その他は第5の実施形態と同様である。
このように、シリアルデータの同期転送用のクロック信号入力端子SCLKにそれぞれつながる配線導体や層間接続導体についてのみ、図9に示した構造をとっても、クロック信号の高調波信号の高周波信号配線導体W2への回り込みが充分に抑制される。その結果、受信感度の低下や送信信号歪みなどの通信特性の劣化が改善される。
