Abstract
Integrated microphone and antennas include a microphone and an antenna. The microphone includes a housing and an acoustic transducer. The housing defines a cavity and includes a conductive layer. The acoustic transducer is positioned within the cavity and structured to generate an acoustic signal. The antenna is at least partially integrated with the microphone and structured to transmit and receive radio frequency signals. The antenna is structured to utilize the conductive layer of the housing as a radiating element.
