Abstract:
1. An RF module adapted to transmit and receive RF signals and adapted for mounting to a front end of a base station and comprising: a signal transmit section on a top surface of a substrate including a transmit bandpass filter, a power amplifier, and a discrete ceramic duplexer; and a signal receive section on said top surface of said substrate comprising said discrete ceramic duplexer, a low-noise amplifier, and a discrete ceramic receive bandpass filter; and a lid on the top surface of said substrate covering the discrete ceramic duplexer, the low-noise amplifier, and the discrete ceramic receive bandpass filter in the signal receive section but not covering at least the power amplifier for reducing the transfer of heat from the power amplifier in the signal transmit section to the discrete ceramic duplexer, the low-noise amplifier and the discrete ceramic receive bandpass filter.
