Abstract:
In accordance with one or more embodiments, a guided wave launcher includes an array of antennas that generates first electromagnetic field signals. A lens is configured to guide the first electromagnetic field signals to a surface of a transmission medium, the first electromagnetic field signals inducing a first guided electromagnetic wave that is guided by the surface of the transmission medium and propagates along the transmission medium without requiring an electrical return path.
