Abstract
A high-frequency module comprising a high-frequency device-mounting package and an external circuit board, wherein said high-frequency device-mounting package includes a dielectric substrate having a first grounding layer contained therein, said dielectric substrate mounting a high-frequency device on one surface thereof and having, formed on one surface thereof, first high-frequency signal transmission lines connected to said high-frequency device, and having, formed on the other surface thereof, second high-frequency signal transmission lines coupled to said first high-frequency signal transmission lines; said external circuit board is constituted by a dielectric board having third high-frequency signal transmission lines and a second grounding layer, said third high-frequency signal transmission lines being formed on one surface of said dielectric board, and said second grounding layer being formed on the other surface of said dielectric board or inside thereof; and said high-frequency device-mounting package and said external circuit board are arranged side by side, and the second high-frequency signal transmission lines of the high-frequency package are electrically connected to the third high-frequency signal transmission lines of the external circuit board through linear electrically conducting members. The patterns of the second high-frequency signal transmission lines on the side of the high-frequency device-mounting package can be easily aligned with the patterns of the third high-frequency signal transmission lines on the side of the external circuit board, effectively reducing the transmission loss at the junction portions of the lines.
