One way to stop electromagnetic fields from leaking outside of a module is an electric wall. Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to emulating an electric wall with through vias. The through vias may be arranged around cavities in the printed circuit board. The density of the through vias may be selected based on an expected wavelength of the electromagnetic fields. The printed circuit board may then self-isolate components within the cavities from the electromagnetic fields.

Package with self shielding

A radio frequency (RF) front end module includes an antenna node, a number of RF filtering elements and switching circuitry. Each one of the RF filtering elements is configured to pass RF signals within a filter pass band and attenuate RF signals outside the filter pass band. The switching circuitry is configured to selectively couple one or more of the RF filtering elements to the antenna node such that RF signals in different operating bands received at the antenna node are separately isolated by the RF filtering elements. The RF filtering elements include a shared filtering element, which is switchable such that in a first operating configuration is used to isolate signals within a first operating band and in a second operating configuration is used to isolate signals within a second operating band that is different from the first operating band.
