Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a transmission device that includes a first coupler that guides a first electromagnetic wave to a first junction to form a second electromagnetic wave that is guided to propagate along the outer surface of the transmission medium via one or more guided-wave modes. These mode(s) have an envelope that varies as a function of angular deviation and/or longitudinal displacement. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claim (Index 10):
A transmission device comprising:\n means for generating a first electromagnetic wave conveying first data; first means for guiding the first electromagnetic wave to a first junction for coupling the first electromagnetic wave to a transmission medium to form a second electromagnetic wave that propagates along an outer surface of the transmission medium via at least one guided-wave mode, wherein the second electromagnetic wave has an envelope that varies as a function of longitudinal displacement from the first junction, wherein the function of longitudinal displacement has a minimum at a first longitudinal displacement from the first junction, and wherein a third electromagnetic wave propagates along the outer surface of the transmission medium in a direction opposite to the first electromagnetic wave; and second means for guiding the third electromagnetic wave from a second junction coupling the third electromagnetic wave from the transmission medium at the first longitudinal displacement from the first junction to form a fourth electromagnetic wave that is guided to a receiver.
