Claim Text:
1. A high frequency module, comprising: a substrate including a first surface and a second surface substantially opposite of the first surface, wherein the substrate comprises a multi-layer printed circuit board (PCB), wherein at least one layer of the PCB is used for provision of direct current (DC) for power and control signals; a high frequency component mounted on the second surface, wherein high frequency comprises radio, microwave, and/or optical frequencies, and wherein a DC current is provided to the high frequency component using the at least one layer of the PCB; a conductive housing coupled to the second surface of the substrate, wherein the conductive housing comprises: at least one opening extending through the conductive housing, wherein the at least one opening forms a cavity, wherein the high frequency component is positioned in the cavity; and at least one connector configured to convey a high frequency signal through the conductive housing to the high frequency component; and a cover coupled to the conductive housing such that the high frequency component is positioned in the cavity between the substrate and the cover; wherein during operation, the cavity independently constrains high frequency signals to propagate through the high frequency component.
