METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LAUNCHING A WAVE MODE THAT MITIGATES INTERFERENCE

摘要

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system that performs operations including detecting a signal degradation of electromagnetic waves guided by a transmission medium, and adjusting at least one phase of signal components of the electromagnetic waves to produce adjusted electromagnetic waves having a hybrid wave mode and a non-optical frequency range to mitigate the signal degradation. Other embodiments are disclosed.

主权项

1. A waveguide system, comprising:
a plurality of launchers including a first launcher and a second launcher that facilitate generating and guiding electromagnetic waves, wherein the first launcher facilitates generation of first electromagnetic waves having a first phase; wherein the second launcher facilitates generation of second electromagnetic waves having a second phase; and wherein the first launcher and the second launcher facilitate guidance of the first electromagnetic waves and the second electromagnetic waves to an interface of a transmission medium for inducing a combined electromagnetic wave having a hybrid wave mode and a non-optical frequency range, the combined electromagnetic wave being bound to a surface of the transmission medium.
