- the module 20 is then reflow soldered at a maximum temperature of 260 0 C so as to couple all of the components and lid 45 to the board. Finally, the array is diced up as is known in the art and the individual modules 20 are then final tested and subsequently "taped and reeled" and readied for shipment. While the invention has been taught with specific reference to an embodiment of the module adapted for use on the front end of a picocell, it is understood that someone skilled in the art will recognize that changes can be made in form and detail such as, for example, to the selection, number, placement, interconnection values, and patterns of the various RF elements and circuits, without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. The described embodiment is to be considered in all respects only as illustrative of one embodiment and not restrictive.
