Abstract

An electrical module with a first substrate, and a component mounted on the first substrate is specified. The component includes a second substrate and a chip arranged on the second substrate. In the module, a filter circuit is realized that includes shunt arms connected to ground each with at least one parallel resonator. The parallel resonators are arranged on the chip. The ground-side connection of at least two of the shunt arms to each other is realized outside the chip and the second substrate. The ground-side connection of the shunt arms is advantageously realized in the first substrate or on a circuit board on which the first substrate is arranged.
