Communication module
First Claim
1. A communication module, comprising:
- a circuit substrate having(a) a first high-frequency processing section that processes high-frequency signals related to mobile phone communication,(b) a system section having a baseband processing area that processes baseband signals related to mobile phone communication and an application processing area that processes various types of mobile phone application operations, and(c) a power circuit section;
a sealing member formed on an entire surface of a main surface of the circuit substrate, the sealing member covering electronic components mounted on said main surface;
a shield layer that is conductive and formed on a surface of the sealing member; and
a first shield wall that fills a groove formed from the surface of the sealing member toward the main surface of the circuit substrate, the groove demarcating a mounting area of either one or both of the system section and the power circuit section and a mounting area of the first high-frequency processing section, the first shield wall being connected to the shield layer,wherein the circuit substrate is made of conductive layers and insulating layers laminated together, and has a core layer that is a conductive layer, the core layer being thicker than other conductive layers and functioning as a ground, andwherein one or more electronic components constituting a part of at least one of the first high-frequency processing section, system section, and power circuit section are each arranged in a through-hole or a recessed portion formed in the core layer of the circuit substrate.

Abstract
A communication module includes a circuit substrate having a first high-frequency processing section related to mobile phone communication, a system section having a baseband processing section and application processing section, and a power circuit section, a sealing member covering the electronic components mounted on the circuit substrate, a conductive shield layer formed on a surface of the sealing member, and a shield wall formed in the sealing member so as to demarcate one or both mounting areas of the system section and power circuit section and the mounting area of the first high-frequency processing section. The circuit substrate includes a core layer that is a conductive layer thicker than the other conductive layers and that functions as a ground. Electronic components are arranged in through-holes formed in the core layer.
