Abstract

Methods for manufacturing a microwave or radio frequency (RF) device include mounting a printed circuit board (PCB) on a flexible PCB having at least one ground plane and a signal terminal. The PCB can include a through-hole the sidewalls of which are coated with a conductive material. The methods can include placing a microwave component within the through-hole. The methods can include disposing a conductive cover on the PCB such that the cover is in electrical contact with the ground plane of the flexible PCB through the conductive material, forming shielding around the microwave component. The flexible PCB can be folded along a respective bend portion.
