CA 2183716

A unique method and apparatus for coupling radio frequency signals from a wireless communication device (200) to an external device by way of an I/O port (116). In particular, a connector having three adjacent conductive elements (238) couples signals to an external device wherein the first and third conductive elements (239, 241) are electrically coupled to a ground plane (302) and wherein the second conductive element (240) is electrically coupled to a conductive path (344). The connector is substantially covered with a shield (230) coupled to the ground plane. A mating connector (400) also includes a shield (430) which is commonly grounded. The mating connector preferably includes an internally located coaxial connector (412) and cable (414) to minimize loss of RF communication signals. Component of the connectors (116, 400) are selectively grounded to eliminate RF interference and establish a reliable RF ground reference to a pc board of the wireless communication device and the coaxial connector.
