  • Publication number: 20090059540
    Abstract: A shielded high-frequency circuit module includes a conductive frame electrically coupled to a top surface of a printed circuit board and a lid. The conductive frame includes inner walls, which define a circuit region, at least a portion of which includes a circuit on the top surface of the printed circuit board. The shielded high-frequency circuit module also includes a connector for interfacing the circuit region with high-frequency signals outside the conductive frame, at least a portion of the connector being electrically coupled to the conductive frame. The inner walls of the conductive frame, the top surface of the printed circuit board and the lid define a shield surrounding the circuit region.

  • Publication number: 20080115967
    Abstract: A shield for an electronic circuit for controlling electromagnetic radiation. The circuit is constructed on a PCB having a minimum of three metal layers. The PCB includes SMT shield connectors for carrying signals to the circuit. The shield includes a metal wall portion mounted to the PCB and a removable metal lid mounted to the wall portion. The PCB, connectors, wall portion and lid together form a continuous electromagnetic barrier around the circuit.
