Abstract:
A substrate 15 has an electrically adjustable trim pad 50 on the bottom side. A circuit pattern 18 resides on the top side, covered by an RF shield 20. The trim pad is located on the bottom side directly below the RF shield, and is electrically connected 52 to the circuit pattern. A number of surface mount connections 30, typically C5 solder bumps, are located on the bottom side, and surround the trim pad. The trim pad is trimmed after the RF shield is attached, thus providing more accurate tuning of the circuit on the top side.
