Abstract: A radio frequency transceiver having a printed circuit board (PCB) on which are located a plurality of components, the PCB being sandwiched between a base and a cover. The cover having a plurality of components for accommodating each of the plurality of components to separate the plurality of components into a number of virtual modules. All interconnects between the number of virtual modules are in the PCB. The PCB has a radio frequency (RF) layer, a RF ground layer, a direct current (DC) layer, and a DC ground layer. There is a plurality of via holes from the RF ground layer to the DC ground layer to provide virtual RF ground.

Abstract: A television tuner comprises a tunable bandpass filter (4) for selecting a desired input channel with an image canceling capacitor (C8) for rejecting the image frequency of the desired input channel. In order to avoid the necessity of different printed circuit boards for NTSC-type television tuners and for PAL-type television tuners, the image canceling capacitor (C8) is made of first (8) and second (10) traces of the printed circuit board while a third trace (13) is connected to the second trace (10) by a jumper (15) only in case of a PAL-type tuner.
