A front end module has two signal paths for operation in two different frequency ranges which can be operated both with one antenna in the multiplex operating mode and with two antennas in a second operating mode. The respective operating mode is actuated via corresponding contact being made with the module substrate, and therefore by the user.

Front end module and method of operation in different circuit environments

The invention discloses an electrical component with a carrier substrate, on which at least one semiconductor chip is mounted. Terminal areas are arranged on the underside of the carrier substrate and contact areas designed for the assembly with semiconductor chips are arranged on the upper side. The carrier substrate has a functional area that is divided into sections, wherein each section is assigned at least one function such as, e.g., as a filter, a frequency-separating filter, a balun, etc. A separate area of the carrier substrate is assigned to each section. The following applies to at least one of the sections: the contact area and/or the terminal area that is conductively connected to the section lies outside the base of this section. The connecting line that conductively connects the input or output of the respective section to the contact area and/or the terminal area is preferably shielded from the section by a ground area.
