Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system having a plurality of transmitters for launching, according to a signal, instances of first electromagnetic waves having different phases to induce propagation of a second electromagnetic wave at an interface of a transmission medium, the second electromagnetic wave having a non-fundamental wave mode and a non-optical operating frequency, wherein the plurality of transmitters has a corresponding plurality of antennas. A reflective plate is spaced a distance behind the plurality of antennas relative to a direction of the propagation of the second electromagnetic wave. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
A method, comprising:\n generating first electromagnetic waves, by a plurality of circuits, wherein each of the plurality of circuits is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit and each of the plurality of circuits has a corresponding one of a plurality of radiating elements; and directing, at least partially by a reflective plate, instances of the first electromagnetic waves to an interface of a transmission medium to induce a second electromagnetic wave along a surface of the transmission medium, wherein the second electromagnetic wave propagates along the surface of the transmission medium without utilizing an electrical return path, and wherein the second electromagnetic wave has a selected non-fundamental wave mode and a non-optical operating frequency and wherein a distance between the reflective plate and the plurality of radiating elements is set to support the inducing of the propagation of the second electromagnetic wave having the selected non-fundamental wave mode.
