Patent ID: 7583237

Claim:
An antenna module integrated with an antenna device comprising: an antenna element; a multilayered substrate attached to the antenna element; a plurality of first components mounted on an exposed face of a first layer of the multilayered substrate, said plurality of first components including a low noise amplifier, a crystal oscillator and a tuner IC, a pattern formed on the exposed face of the first layer providing connections for the first components; a plurality of second components built into the multilayered substrate and comprised of patterns formed on a plurality of inner layers of the multilayered substrate, and electrically connected to the plurality of first components through via holes, the plurality of second components including an inductor, a capacitor, a balun and a filter, formed on the basis of at least one of a width, a length, and a shape of patterns formed on inner layers, wherein the balun includes: a first balun layer of the multilayered substrate, on which juxtaposed connected spiral patterns are formed; a second balun layer of the multilayered substrate, on which juxtaposed separated spiral patterns are formed; and a third balun layer of the multilayered substrate, on which a connection pattern electrically connecting the separated spiral patterns is formed, wherein the connected spiral patterns are disposed to face the separated spiral patterns, wherein the filter includes: a first filter layer of the multilayered substrate, on which a plurality of first rectangular patterns are formed; a second filter layer of the multilayered substrate, on which an L-shaped pattern and an inverse L-shaped pattern are formed; a third filter layer of the multilayered substrate, on which a plurality of second rectangular patterns are formed, the number of the second rectangular patterns being larger than that of the first rectangular patterns, the width of each of the second rectangular patterns being smaller than that of each of the first rectangular patterns; and a fourth filter layer of the multilayered substrate, on which at least one third rectangular pattern is formed, the number of the at least one of the third rectangular patterns being smaller than that of the first rectangular patterns, the width of the at least one of the third rectangular patterns being larger than that of each of the first rectangular patterns; wherein the L-shaped pattern and the inverse L-shaped pattern are disposed to face the first rectangular patterns and the second rectangular patterns; wherein one of the first rectangular patterns is electrically connected to one of the second rectangular patterns; and wherein one of the second rectangular patterns is electrically connected to the at least one of the third rectangular pattern.
