A filter unit is provided to retrofit within signal lines that couple analog cockpit gauges to transducers in rotorcraft systems. The filter unit may include a housing assembly and an electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter assembly housed therein. The filter assembly may include a printed circuit board (PCB) having conductive PCB traces and a signal line input connector configured to connect to multiple transducer signal lines. The filter assembly may also include a signal line output connector configured to connect to multiple analog cockpit gauge signal lines and a plurality of common mode chokes electrically connected between the signal line input connector and the signal line output connector. Each common mode choke may be positioned on the PCB so that it does not electrically/magnetically interfere with the other common mode chokes of the plurality of common mode chokes.

In an electronic component, a terminal electrode has a thickest portion and a part thinner than the thickest portion. Accordingly, an increase in solder fillet forming region occurs when the electronic component is solder-mounted onto a predetermined mounting substrate. In the electronic component, mounting strength is improved as a result of the increase in solder fillet forming region. In addition, in the electronic component, the thickest portion overlaps a bump electrode in a direction orthogonal to the lower surface of an element body. Accordingly, the impact that is applied to the electronic component during the mounting onto the mounting substrate is reduced and the impact resistance of the electronic component is improved.

A filter device includes: a multilayer board including a first dielectric layer, a first wiring layer including a reference electrode to which a reference potential is supplied, and a second dielectric layer positioned between the first dielectric layer and the first wiring layer and having a thickness different from a thickness of the first dielectric layer; a series passive element provided on a series wire electrically connecting a first terminal and a second terminal together; a first parallel wire electrically connecting the series wire and the reference electrode together; and a first parallel passive element provided on the first parallel wire. The first parallel wire includes: a first via penetrating through the first dielectric layer and electrically connected to the first parallel passive element; and a second via penetrating through the second dielectric layer and electrically connecting the first via and the reference electrode together.

Improvement in heat dissipation capability is intended. A radio-frequency module includes a mounting substrate, a first transmission filter, a second transmission filter, a resin layer, and a shield layer. The second transmission filter is higher in power class than the first transmission filter. The resin layer covers at least part of an outer peripheral surface of the first transmission filter and covers at least part of an outer peripheral surface of the second transmission filter. The shield layer overlaps at least part of the second transmission filter in plan view in a thickness direction of the mounting substrate. At least part of a major surface of the second transmission filter on an opposite side to the mounting substrate side is in contact with the shield layer.

The disclosure relates to a 5.sup.th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transfer rate than a 4.sup.th generation (4G) communication system, such as long-term evolution (LTE). An antenna module is provided. The antenna module includes a filter for filtering a radio frequency (RF) signal, and a sub printed circuit board (PCB), the sub-PCB comprises a passive circuit for processing the RF signal, and, the sub-PCB may be coupled to the filter such that the filter operates as a bumper when being coupled to a filter board.

Disclosed herein are dual-spiral common-mode filters, printed circuit boards (PCBs) comprising such dual-spiral common-mode filters, and devices comprising such dual-spiral common-mode filters and PCBs. A dual-spiral common-mode filter is patterned into the reference plane of a PCB. The dual-spiral common-mode filter comprises a first spiral portion connected to a second spiral portion. The spiral portions may be substantially identical, or mirror images of each other, or different from each other. One or more signal traces in a signal trace layer of the PCB pass over the dual-spiral common-mode filter. The disclosed dual-spiral common-mode filters can replace both conventional patterned ground structure (PGS) filters used for radio-frequency interference mitigation and the cutouts often used in the reference plane of a PCB to mitigate impedance mismatches due to DC blocking capacitors. Also disclosed herein are methods of making PCBs that include dual-spiral common-mode filters.

Pastes are disclosed that are configured to coat a passage of a substrate. When the paste is sintered, the paste becomes electrically conductive so as to transmit electrical signals from a first end of the passage to a second end of the passage that is opposite the first end of the passage. The metallized paste contains a lead-free glass frit, and has a coefficient of thermal expansion sufficiently matched to the substrate so as to avoid cracking of the sintered paste, the substrate, or both, during sintering.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a package structure capable of allowing a shield used for noise attenuation to be used for other purposes, in an electronic device in which components are arranged at high density, and an operation method for preventing/reducing noise radiation or detecting in advance defects in a manufacturing process using the same.
