Abstract

A radio-frequency arrangement is described. The radio-frequency arrangement has a first radio-frequency component, a second radio-frequency component and a wiring substrate having a coaxial radio-frequency line formed in the wiring substrate, wherein the first radio-frequency component and the second radio-frequency component are connected via the coaxial radio-frequency line.

Claims (48)

1. A radio-frequency arrangement comprising:

a first radio-frequency component,

a second radio-frequency component, and

a wiring substrate comprising a coaxial radio-frequency line formed in the wiring substrate,

wherein the first radio-frequency component and the second radio-frequency component are connected via the coaxial radio-frequency line,

wherein the at least one external conductor ( 112 ) completely surrounds the at least one internal conductor ( 110 ),

wherein the at least one external conductor ( 112 ) and the at least one internal conductor ( 110 ) are insulated from one another,

wherein at least one radio-frequency signal terminal of the first radio-frequency component is connected to at least one radio-frequency signal terminal of the second radio-frequency component via the at least one internal conductor,

wherein at least one radio-frequency shielding terminal of the first radio-frequency component is connected to at least one radio-frequency shielding terminal of the second radio-frequency component via the at least one external conductor.

2. The radio-frequency arrangement in accordance with claim 1 ,

4. The radio-frequency arrangement in accordance with claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one internal conductor passes laterally in the wiring substrate so that the at least one internal conductor is arranged in parallel to a surface of the wiring substrate adjacent to the first radio-frequency component and/or the second radio-frequency component,

wherein the at least one internal conductor is guided to the surface of the wiring substrate via at least two mutually spaced connective conductors passing vertically in the wiring substrate,

wherein a first connective conductor of the at least two connective conductors is connected to the at least one radio-frequency signal terminal of the first radio-frequency component,

wherein a second connective conductor of the at least two connective conductors is connected to the at least one radio-frequency signal terminal of the second radio-frequency component.

5. The radio-frequency arrangement in accordance with claim 4 ,

wherein the at least one external conductor surrounding the at least one internal conductor is opened in regions of the at least two connective conductors.

6. A participant of a mobile communication system,

wherein the participant comprises a radio-frequency arrangement in accordance with claim 1 .

7. The radio-frequency arrangement ( 100 ) in accordance with claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one external conductor ( 112 ) and the at least one internal conductor 112 are insulated from one another by means of silicon dioxide, SiO 2 .

8. A method for manufacturing a radio-frequency arrangement, the method comprising:

providing a first radio-frequency component,
