Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a coupling device including a receiving portion that receives a radio frequency signal conveying data from a transmitting device. A magnetic coupler magnetically couples the radio frequency signal to a transmission medium as a guided electromagnetic wave that is bound by an outer surface of the transmission medium. A cap includes a dielectric portion that secures the transmission medium adjacent to the magnetic coupler and a reflective plate that reduces electromagnetic emissions from the magnetic coupler. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
A coupling device comprising:\n a receiving portion, configured to receive, from a transmitting device, a radio frequency signal conveying data; an electromagnetic coupler, configured to electromagnetically couple the radio frequency signal to a transmission medium as a guided electromagnetic wave that is guided by a surface of the transmission medium; a reflective plate configured to reduce electromagnetic emissions from the electromagnetic coupler; and a dielectric portion configured to secure the transmission medium adjacent to the electromagnetic coupler and to provide a spacing between the electromagnetic coupler and the reflective plate, wherein the spacing corresponds to substantially one-half of a wavelength of the radio frequency signal.
