Abstract
Abstract A packaging method of the optical transceiver module for transmitting optical signals is disclosed. The invention includes a base, a case, a transmission unit and a receiving unit. The transmission unit and the receiving unit contain a circuit board, respectively. The base provides two fixing positions for the installation of the two circuit boards. The two circuit boards are installed horizontally and vertically, respectively. This design increases the utilization of the inner space, providing ideal shielding for the elements and circuit boards. A central beam is used to fix the structure and case in a drawable way like a matchbox. This reduces covered area of the circuit board, making the elements easy to be tested and assembled.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A packaging for an optical transceiver module for an electronic device to receive and transmit optical signals, which comprises: a base defining two fixing positions for installation of the electronic device; a transmission unit emitting optical signals from the electronic device and contains a transmission circuit board with a plurality of pins, the transmission circuit board being installed at one of the fixing positions on the base and having electrical communications with the electronic device via its pins; and a receiving unit receiving external optical signals to the electronic device and contains a receiving circuit board with a plurality of pins, the receiving circuit board being installed at the other the fixing position on the base perpendicular to the transmission circuit board and having electrical communications with the electronic device via its pins.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
133 words
A packaging for an optical transceiver module for an electronic device to receive and transmit optical signals, which comprises: a base defining two fixing positions for installation of the electronic device; a transmission unit emitting optical signals from the electronic device and contains a transmission circuit board with a plurality of pins, the transmission circuit board being installed at one of the fixing positions on the base and having electrical communications with the electronic device via its pins; and a receiving unit receiving external optical signals to the electronic device and contains a receiving circuit board with a plurality of pins, the receiving circuit board being installed at the other the fixing position on the base perpendicular to the transmission circuit board and having electrical communications with the electronic device via its pins.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
The packaging of claim 1 , further comprising a case covering the base to reduce EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) from the receiving circuit board and the transmission circuit board.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
45 words
The packaging of claim 2 , wherein the case has a sliding track and the base has a sliding groove, the sliding track and sliding groove being designed to match each other so that the base is combined with the case by sliding into it.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
The packaging of claim 3 , wherein the case has a fixing part and the base has a corresponding fixing hole, the combination of which fixes the relative position of the case and the base.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
The packaging of claim 4 , wherein the fixing part is on the opposite side to that of the sliding track.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
40 words
The packaging of claim 2 , wherein the case has a pair of openings for the pins of the transmission unit and the receiving unit to stick out of the case and to form electrical connection with the electronic device.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
