Controlled signals using signal guides for sensor devices

A sensor device subassembly, comprising:

• a first sensor device comprising a first transceiver element;
• and
• a signal guide disposed adjacent to the first transceiver element, wherein the signal guide comprises:
• a base comprising a first proximal aperture, wherein the first proximal aperture has a first cross-sectional profile, wherein the first proximal aperture is disposed proximate to the first transceiver element of the first sensor device;
• a body disposed adjacent to the base, wherein the body comprises a first main channel that adjoins the first proximal aperture;
• a distal end disposed adjacent to the body opposite the base of the signal guide, wherein the distal end comprises a first distal aperture that adjoins the first main channel, wherein the first distal aperture has a second cross-sectional profile, wherein the first distal aperture is configured to be disposed proximate to an ambient environment;
• and
• 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,
• wherein the first proximal aperture, the first main channel, and the first distal aperture form a first continuous channel,
• wherein the first cross-sectional profile is different than the second cross-sectional profile, and
• wherein the first continuous channel transfers a first plurality of signals between the first transceiver element of the first sensor device and the ambient environment.

A system comprising:

• 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:
• 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;
• a body disposed adjacent to the base, wherein the body comprises a main channel that adjoins the proximal aperture;
• 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
• 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
• 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.
