Abstract

A high-frequency module includes a mounting board, a first electronic component, a first resin layer, and a first ground electrode. The mounting board has a first principal surface and a second principal surface opposite to each other. The first electronic component is disposed on the first principal surface of the mounting board. The first resin layer is disposed on the first principal surface of the mounting board, and covers at least a part of an outer peripheral surface of the first electronic component. The first ground electrode covers at least a part of the first resin layer. A principal surface of the first electronic component opposite to the mounting board is in contact with the first ground electrode. The mounting board includes a second ground electrode inside the mounting board. The first ground electrode is not in contact with the second ground electrode.
