A method comprises arranging a plurality of charge terminals of a polyphase waveguide probe above a lossy conducting medium, where the plurality of charge terminals are coupled to an excitation source. The method also comprises exciting the plurality of charge terminals via the excitation source to generate electromagnetic fields that are substantially mode-matched to a surface wave mode of the lossy conducting medium. The method further comprises transmitting energy in a form of a guided surface wave along a surface of the lossy conducting medium by exciting the polyphase waveguide probe to generate the electromagnetic fields that are substantially mode-matched to the surface wave mode of the lossy conducting medium. |
