1. A device comprising:
- a first mechanism comprised of a millimeter (mm) wave waveguide structure configured to transmit or receive a first signal;
a second mechanism connected to the first mechanism, the second mechanism configured to radiate or receive a second; and
an isolating hardware configured to minimize coupling between the first signal and the second signal.

Abstract
Described herein are architectures, platforms and methods for implementing an orientation-agnostic mm-wave antenna(s) that includes an integrated second mechanism on a waveguide structure of the mm-wave antenna. The second mechanism, for example, operates on a second signal and is co-running with an operation of the waveguide structure. The second mechanism may include an audio sub-system such as an audio speaker and/or an audio microphone, or other mechanisms such as a sound or a signal detector, signal transmitter/receiver, or the like.
