Microphone coupler for a communication device

A communication device for communicating signals in a wireless manner, said device comprising:

• a housing;
• a printed circuit board;
• a microphone located within said housing on said printed circuit board;
• an antenna located at least in part within said housing;
• a microphone coupler for said microphone located within said housing, said coupler comprising:
• a body section shaped to fit around said microphone, said body section having a port through a wall of said body section and an internal cavity within said body section shaped to receive at least a portion of said microphone and to define a spaced relationship between said microphone and said body section;
• and a conduit having an internal channel therein, a distal end, a proximal end, a first opening in said distal end connecting to said internal channel and a second opening in said proximal end connecting to said internal channel, wherein
• said proximal end is connected to said body section and said second opening mates with said port;
• and
• said distal end extends towards a microphone opening in said housing.

A communication device for communicating signals in a wireless manner, said device comprising:

• a housing;
• a printed circuit board;
• a microphone located within said housing on said printed circuit board, said microphone having a port facing towards said circuit board and aligned with an opening through said circuit board;
• an antenna located at least in part within said housing;
• a microphone coupler for said microphone located within said housing, said coupler comprising:
• a conduit having an internal channel therein, a distal end, a proximal end, a first opening in said distal end connecting to said internal channel and a second opening in said proximal end connecting to said internal channel, wherein
• said proximal end is located about said opening of said circuit board and
• said second opening is mated to said opening of said circuit board;
• and
• said distal end extends towards a microphone opening in said housing.
