High-frequency module
First Claim
1. A high-frequency module comprising:
- a filter component including;
a first terminal to which a first high-frequency signal is input;
a first filter through which the first high-frequency signal input to the first terminal passes;
a second terminal that outputs the first high-frequency signal that has passed through the first filter; and
a third terminal that is connected to the first filter;
a matching network that is connected to the second terminal;
a module substrate on which the filter component is mounted;
an inductor that adjusts characteristics of the first filter and is provided inside the module substrate, the inductor including a first end connected to the third terminal and a second end thereof connected to ground; and
a shield electrode between the inductor and the filter component;
whereinthe inductor and the matching network define a propagation path by electromagnetic field coupling with each other;
the matching network and the filter component do not electromagnetic field couple with each other; and
the shield electrode is located to suppress electromagnetic field coupling between the inductor and the filter component.

Abstract
A high-frequency module includes a propagation path that has a simple structure and improves filter characteristics by causing an inductor and a matching network to electromagnetic field couple with each other such that attenuation characteristics outside of a frequency band of a transmission signal are improved without increasing the size of the high-frequency module. In addition, unintended electromagnetic field coupling between a first filter and the inductor is significantly reduced or prevented by a shield electrode. Therefore, unintended propagation of a high-frequency signal is significantly reduced or prevented. Therefore, the attenuation characteristics outside of the frequency band of transmission signal input to the transmission terminal are improved more effectively.
