Abstract:
A signal guide for a sensor device is disclosed herein. The signal guide can include a base having a first proximal aperture, where the first proximal aperture has a first cross-sectional profile, where the first proximal aperture is configured to be disposed proximate to a first transceiver element of the sensor device. The signal guide can also include a body disposed adjacent to the base, wherein the body comprises a first main channel that adjoins the first proximal aperture. The signal guide can further include a distal end disposed adjacent to the body opposite the base, where the distal end includes a first distal aperture that adjoins the first main channel, where the first distal aperture has a second cross-sectional profile, where the first distal aperture is configured to be disposed proximate to an ambient environment.

Claim (Index 17):
A system comprising:\n a sensor device comprising at least one transceiver element; a signal guide disposed adjacent to the at least one transceiver element, wherein the signal guide comprises:\n a base comprising a proximal aperture, wherein the proximal aperture has a first cross-sectional profile, wherein the proximal aperture is disposed proximate to the at least one transceiver element of the sensor device; \n a body disposed adjacent to the base, wherein the body comprises a main channel that adjoins the proximal aperture; \n a distal end disposed adjacent to the body opposite the base of the signal guide, wherein the distal end comprises a distal aperture that adjoins the main channel, wherein the distal aperture has a second cross-sectional profile; and \n at least one gap that traverses at least a portion of the body, wherein the at least one gap is used, in part, to form variations in a first main channel cross-sectional profile of the first main channel; and \n an operational device comprising an aperture, wherein the distal end of the signal guide is disposed adjacent to the aperture and is exposed to an ambient environment, wherein the proximal aperture, the main channel, and the distal aperture form a continuous channel between the ambient environment and the at least one transceiver element of the sensor device.
