MULTI-EMBEDDED RADIO FREQUENCY BOARD AND MOBILE DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

Abstract:

A radio frequency signal repeater includes, a first communication printed circuit board, a second communication printed circuit board, at least one embedded radio frequency module printed circuit board disposed between and communicably coupled to both the first communication printed circuit board and the second communication printed circuit board. The at least one embedded radio frequency module printed circuit board, the first communication printed circuit board, and the second communication printed circuit board are stacked one board on top of the others, and adjacent boards of the at least one embedded radio frequency module printed circuit board, the first communication printed circuit board, and the second communication printed circuit board are electrically coupled by a respective interconnection join layer so as to form an integrated printed circuit board module, where the adjacent boards are electrically coupled to each other through vias that extend through the interconnection join layer.
