  • Patent number: 12101876
    Abstract: A circuit module comprising a printed circuit board, PCB, arrangement, a connection module, CM, and a high frequency circuit carrier, HFCC, are provided. The HFCC is arranged on the PCB arrangement. The CM is mounted on the PCB arrangement. The CM comprises at least one connection pad and is configured to electrically connect a metallic structure on or in the printed circuit board to the connection pad of the CM. The HFCC comprises at least one connection pad. At least one bond wire is provided to electrically connect the at least one connection pad to the HFCC to the at least one connection pad of the CM. The CM has a height over the PCB so that the at least one connection pad of the HFCC and at least one connection pad of the CM are on a same level or have a height difference that is less than 2 mm, preferably less than 1 mm, most preferably less than 0.8 mm.

  • Publication number: 20240297679
    Abstract: A measurement system is provided. Said measurement system comprises a first measurement chain, a second measurement chain, a radio frequency hybrid coupler, a first radio frequency port connected to the first measurement chain via the radio frequency hybrid coupler, a second radio frequency port connected to the second measurement chain via the radio frequency hybrid coupler, a first attenuator or a first radio frequency switch for the first radio frequency port, and a second attenuator or a second radio frequency switch for the second radio frequency port. In this context, a first transmission coefficient of the first attenuator or the first radio frequency switch is controllable. In addition to this, a second transmission coefficient of the second attenuator or the second radio frequency switch is controllable.
