Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a coupler including a receiving portion that receives a first electromagnetic wave conveying first data from a transmitting device. A guiding portion guides the first electromagnetic wave to a junction for coupling the first electromagnetic wave to a transmission medium. The first electromagnetic wave propagates via at least one first guided wave mode. The coupling of the first electromagnetic wave to the transmission medium forms a second electromagnetic wave that is guided to propagate along the outer surface of the transmission medium via at least one second guided wave mode that differs from the at least one first guided wave mode. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
A waveguide device comprising:\n a first coupler configured to:\n guide first electromagnetic waves conveying a first data stream to a transmission medium, wherein the first electromagnetic waves propagate along the first coupler via at least one first guided wave mode; and \n generate, responsive to the first electromagnetic waves, third electromagnetic waves conveying the first data stream that propagate at non-optical frequencies along the transmission medium via a non-fundamental mode not included in the at least one first guided wave mode; and \n a second coupler configured to:\n receive second electromagnetic waves conveying a second data stream from the transmission medium that propagate along the transmission medium at non-optical frequencies in an opposite longitudinal direction from the third electromagnetic waves, wherein the second electromagnetic waves propagate along the transmission medium via the non-fundamental mode, wherein the second electromagnetic waves and the third electromagnetic waves have corresponding azimuthal electromagnetic field patterns that vary by an angular displacement; and \n generate, responsive to the second electromagnetic waves, fourth electromagnetic waves conveying the second data stream, wherein the first electromagnetic waves propagate along the second coupler via the at least one first guided wave mode.
